5712 for today
This has been with me now for four months and it receives a lot of wrist time. The rose gold blends very well with the brown dial and as the case is quite slim it is much less in the face than other full gold pieces. However, it does attract attention due to the bracelet which gives it a spot on. Nevertheless I do wear it under sleeve but also short-sleeved.
The watch is pretty heavy and I do realize this after some hours on my wrist; not uncomfortable but rather reminding that you are wearing something precious. Similar to my platinum DD 40 although I must admit that the balance between case and bracelet is a little better with the DD40. Setting date and moon-phase is not my favorite hobby as it takes time in the morning so I usually only fix the date. Today though I fixed the moon-phase for obvious reasons and decided to forget about the date when stripping it on....
Surely not a watch for every occasion but due to this super beautiful RG/brown dial combination a worthy competitor to other full gold Nautilus pieces. I haven't seen another one in the wild yet, only two others at the AD. Also at WPS there has been only one other piece shown, so either it is due to low production or to low demand - I am very satisfied with it and can recommend it to anyone interested ;-)

Fantastic piece ! Heavy weight 🏋️♀️ !
The color combo is really great 👍 Enjoy it often u der the radar 🤣
Beautiful piece!
I can confirm that there are more than few owners of the 5712/1R on WPS. It is very enjoyable. Perhaps the biggest complaint is the lack of a hacking seconds, inconsistent winding (as evident with the power reserve), and poor water resistance (it's the on...
Hi Patrick, the 5740 is also only at 60M
but that is sufficient for swimming as PP told me (not jumping into the water though)
Oh! There are two PUSSYCATS in the Nautilus line that are afraid of the water!
I never realized the 5740 was also afflicted the same way! Thanks for the reminder - just in case I ever borrow a 5740!
Beautiful I love it - great pics
I alwasy wondered about setting it - Id put it on a winder to minimize the time it takes to set it in the morning
Pure class and elegance.
Looks great on your wrist. Perfect fit. Enjoy in the best of health.
Congrats with catching this beautiful 5712/1R!
The answer of your question of apparently low prevalence of this reference at our forum is certainly due to the low production number 🥲 Enjoy this beauty often and in good health! Cheers, Henry
