jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) initiates a captivating discussion on the Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5712's distinctive grey-blue dial, emphasizing its chameleon-like ability to shift hues under varying light conditions. His personal observations and accompanying photographs invite the community to share their own experiences with this highly sought-after reference, highlighting the subtle yet significant aesthetic nuances that define the Nautilus.
The Patek Philippe Complications Reference 5712 is a notable offering within the brand's Complications collection, distinguished by its asymmetrical dial layout and a suite of practical indications. It presents a sophisticated blend of functionality and design, offering a moon phase, power reserve indicator, and an analog date display, all arranged to create a distinctive visual identity that sets it apart from more traditional Patek Philippe designs.
This particular reference features a stainless steel case measuring 40 mm in diameter, housing the self-winding caliber 240 PS IRM C LU. This movement is known for its slim profile, achieved through the integration of a micro-rotor, contributing to the watch's comfortable wearability. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal and offers a water resistance of 60 meters, with a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.
For collectors, the 5712 represents an accessible entry into Patek Philippe's complicated timepieces, offering a range of functions without the complexity of a perpetual calendar or chronograph. Its stainless steel construction and integrated bracelet provide a robust and versatile option, appealing to those seeking a daily wearable complicated watch. The reference has been in production since 2006, with the 5712/1A denoting the stainless steel bracelet variant.
copy of my 3712. LOL! I just found a new 5711. It wasn't an easy task... MPA of Singapore were kind enough to invite me to the Maritime Week of Singapore starting on 2nd half of April. So I will stay there again for a week or so. What do you think; could we organise a small gtg and compare the shades of blue of 3712, 5711 and 5712? It's cold here and snow is on the ground. I miss Singapore! Best, Kari
see it in the metal the next time we meet!! Please!! Really want to see the different hues under different lights. Cheers, Gordon
We know that most of the watches look much more appealing in the metal of course but when I share pictures of my Nautilus I really find, from all the watches I could have in my hands, that this blue dial is one of the most interesting. That is also an element which make me prefer the Nautilus over the Royal Oak (even if the metal artwork is more interesting in the latter). Cheers, Mark
glad to see you wearing it more often.. . hope it is keeping good time..! Cheers !
Kari, Robin, If there's going to be a 5711 vs 5712 showdown, can I buy the drinks? Please? You see, there's a little war going on in the Esharp house at the moment. Half of me wants a 5711, half of me is leaning towards a 5712, half of me says 'both!', and even Mrs Esharp - and let's face it, she's usually the only person around here who can make a decision - doesn't know what she thinks. I think that's partly because she's got her eye on a vintage blue-dial PP as well, but never mind. So I'm on
Before the meeting I will wear for 60 days my 3712 and 5711. every second day the other, and then the other. After wearing both for 30 days, I should at least have an opinion. However, at the moment my thoughts are: 1. The Original Genta's sport watch is Royal Oak 5402. The new 15202 carries in a fantastic way the heritage of the 5402. So either or is a must. 2. After the Royal Oak came Patek Nautilus 3700. The current, blue dialled 5711 carries the DNA so either or is a must. 3. In 1983, AP pre
