Last Thursday I had the immense pleasure to pick up my new Patek Philippe 5712/1A-001 at my local Patek Philippe Boutique. What a wonderful day!

I'm happy and proud to present some quick and dirty pics I took the same day. Enjoy these pictures of the virgin watch (I already crashed into a door latch in the meantime and the bezel is unfortunately no longer flawless and shiny....).

All pictures are taken with my 8 year old Canon PowerShot A610 with amazing 5 (!) mega pixels.
































Best

Stefan R.

The first scratch is always hard to accept but the enjoyment wearing this beautiful timepiece is for sure not reduced! This is the "price" we all have to pay if our watches are no safe queens. And at least it gives some patina and a personal history.

Very nice watch, congratulation! A scratch on the bezel so early is really hard to bear :-) I hate it, but all of our watches will have scratches...that's life Enjoy your treasure!

This is such a great watch. Suits any occasion. I still find the 5712 the most attractive Nautilus, even after looking at all the other more recent Nautilus versions. I like how slim resp. flat the case is and this gives it an extra elegance. Enjoy it and post more pics. Stefan T. , probably not far from away you.
