  • Catalogue Essay

    First launched in 1976, the Nautilus is one of Patek Philippe’s most iconic watch references ever produced. Inspired by the proportions of maritime portholes, the reference 3700 merged Patek Philippe’s elegant design philosophy with durability to create the ultimate luxury sports watch to withstand the elements. Today, the model has become a true collector's timepiece and ultimately changed the way we perceive sports watches.

    Displaying the date, power reserve and moon phase complication, the reference 5712 was the successor of reference 3712, which was the first complicated Nautilus model. The new version featured a larger case at 43mm in diameter, and the dial had narrower grooves. Made to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus in 2006, the reference 5712 was a commercial success. Its classic appeal, combined with a hefty presences makes it one of the most desirable modern sports watches available on the market today. In fact, it is incredibly difficult to obtain one at a Patek Philippe retailer and requires years of waiting to be allocated one.

    The present example is offered for the first time at auction by the original owner. In new-old-stock condition, the watch is complete with all of its accessories, and is a wonderful addition to any collection.
