Thanks!
Many thanks for your feedback. Really appreciate you comments and thoughts! It seems to be there hasn’t been a change since 2006, so I can focus on the condition of the pieces!
I will let you know once I have made the purchase - hopefully this week!

5712R - Advice please!
I’m currently going through the process of buying a new watch. I had thought of the AP Royal Oak Chrono but I have finally decided to by the PP Nautlius 5712R. I will be buying this watch second hand, my question is if there have been changes to the model...
First of all, a warm welcome to our forum, and congrats on choosing a beautiful Patek for your next purchase!
I'm not sure where these pictures come from, but if they are taken from different sources on the net, the dial color might look different for a number of reasons. While I have never looked into the history of the 5712R, I believe the only version that has...
Hmm a brown dial
I've never seen a brown dial until now but other sources on the Internet seem to indicate it's real and factory. My guess is that the brown dial is a a lot more rare than the common grey dial. The brown dial seems to work better with the yellow gold IMO.

Lovely piece.

Got the watch!
Many thanks everyone for your help with clarifying my questions! I have taken delivery of the watch, really happy with it. ...
