  • Catalogue Essay

    The Patek Philippe Nautilus is with no doubt the hottest timepiece in the market right now. With the recent discontinuation of the ref. 5711, collectors worldwide have been on a hunting craze for the Nautilus. First introduced in 2006, the ref. 5712 was among the very first modern complicated Nautilus to be offered along with its chronograph counterpart ref. 5980. With an estimation of Patek Philippe’s total production of stainless steel wristwatches to be about 22% of their entire annual production, the ref. 5712 in stainless steel is most certainly rare in today’s standards with resurfaced examples achieving extremely high prices in the market.

    The present example Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5712/1A-001 from circa 2020 is offered in excellent overall condition with extremely minimal signs of use and wear. Fresh-to-the-market and accompanied by its set of accessories, this is the chance for collectors to acquire a specimen of the reference before it is no longer in production.
