  • Catalogue Essay

    The Patek Philippe Nautilus model needs no introduction. In 2006, Patek Philippe celebrated their 30th Anniversary of the coveted model with the launched a series of new references 5711, 5712 and 5980.

    The ref. 5712G-001 was one of the most complicated Nautilus models offered at the time designed to be a feature-packed wristwatch with sophistication. Encased in white gold, the timepiece displays a smoky grey dial instead of the blue dial featured in the stainless steel model. Adding depth and legibility is a small detail highlighted in red such as the four dotted power reserve and the first day of the calendar. Offered in a crocodile strap pairing, the ref. 5712G-001 gives collectors a luxurious alternative to the sport model, giving it an elegant twist for the discerning ladies and gentlemen.

    The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5712G-001 from circa 2022 is offered in excellent overall condition and is complete with its certificate and presentation box. For collector’s who prefer a heftier presence, this is surely the example perfect for the boardroom and on the weekends.
