Catalogue Essay
The present reference 5712 is cased in 18K white gold and features a power reserve indicator, moon phases and date. It was the most complicated Nautilus model on offer at the time of its introduction in 2006, providing a more sophisticated option to its time and date only counterparts.
The white gold case with a seal grey dial comes to life in the details. With a mix of brushed, embossed, and smooth dial finishes, the coolness of the grey of the dial balances seamlessly with the warmth and sumptuousness of the case. Furthermore, adding a touch of depth to the dial, some small details have been highlighted in red such as the four last dots of the power reserve and the first day of the calendar.
The present example from circa 2009 is presented in excellent overall condition and accompanied with the original Certificate of Origin. It is a magnificent opportunity for collectors to acquire a beautiful example of this sought-after model.
