Great Post!
Thank you for the wonderful post. I have a 5980/1A, and I initially set out for the 5712... I was going to get the FP Journe Centigraphe Sport next month... but now I will struggle with getting the 5712 instead! Either way, I am sure I won't go wrong.
Best,

Nautilus 5712 Review
Hello everyone, As some already know, I recently purchased a 5712 Patek and I just thought about sharing this with you through this little overview. I won't go through the Nautilus history again as there are already many datas on the subject among the for...
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review!
I enjoyed reading your post and viewing all the delightful pictures. Congrats and ENJOY!!! Best, Steve
Thank you Steve,
I'm happy you liked the pics, it is sometime the lottery ! Best, Mark
Excellent review!
I'm sold! Now you've got me wanting to stop by the local dealer to check this out.
You absolutely should !
And give us a feedback when you do ;) Thanks for the comments. Cheers, Mark
I like that kind of reviews ...
I like it a lot :-) Your effort is much appreciated by me and I really enjoyed your thoughts and pictures. Thanks, Mark! PP 5712 compared to your nice DeBethune could be another interesting post ... ;-) Best, Oliver
We have that in commun
Oliver that we often like same watches but like also reading reviews/reports about them. I had this point in mind when I wrote it. I'm glad you enjoyed it that much ! Concenring the DB vs 5712, it will be a difficult task to find the right orientation (DB...
Great review great watch.
Thanks for the great review. In fact, it is one of the best review on 5712 I ever read. The pictures were wonderfully taken and they reveal the quality of design and manufacturing in a perfect way. I have the watch since 2009 and it remains one of my most...
Glad to see
you're a happy owner of the Nautilus and that you liked this review. Thanks you for you input about the movment's finish, this is something I wouldn't have thought about but it seems indeed logical. I believe today it will be a keeper and I'm delighted to...
Appreciate such a detailed review...
it gets to the many defining attributes of the Nautilus.
I tried ...
to be quite deep in my thoughts and I only had to let my heart type ^^ Thanks very much for your words ;) Best, Mark
Well, what could I say?
Hi, First thanks a lot for sharing your review with us. I liked your comments and pics. Then I can say it's my watch, or should have been my watch. Of course my target is/was the 5711/1A as I equally love both models. The 5712 has the advantage of the com...
Sharing love
Hi Dje, It is a real pleasure sharing this with you all, it's a pleasure I also feel when I read owner's reviews or reports and I'm glad to try to give a little back. I missed you post (that I'm keeping aside for tomorrow ^^) but I see how you love this 5...
Thanks for the review!
Thank you for the review of this Natuilus watch. Glad to hear that you are not having any major winding issues related to the 240 caliber. The watch is only water resistant to 60M. Some say they do not recommend showering or submerging the watch, and defi...
Yes it rewinds perfectly
and keeps very well the time too. Concerning the waterproof issue, I would really make a clear distinction between the 5711 and the 5712 with its 2 additional pushers. When I asked the AD, I was told that I can get it wet but maybe not much more, ie swimm...
Huge congratulations, Mark.
You can nevr totally understand nor fully appreciate a 5712 till you have it under your eyes... Then, this is another story. The dial is mesmerizing, the Calibre lovely, the casec so deliciously funky, the whole watch charmful. BRAVO. Nicolas
100% right
This is really a watch to live a bit with to fully understand its strengths. I like when you talk about this "funky" case as I really love all designs coming from the 70's, the lightss designs, the furnitures, the "dary" shapes etc ... It is something I r...
great review, lots of passion..
... felt in it. Superb piece, a must in a collection IMO... THE nautilus out of all the nautilus!
Passion it is
Thanks Fricks, it is really something right now, I wish I came to it earlier ! Cheers, Mark
Very nicely written, Mark
The photos do equal justice, to what is a beautiful looking Patek. I can hear the love and admiration that you have for this piece in your words. :) Regards Tony
Exactly,
It is a very special and good time I'm spending with this watch right now and a pleasure to share. Thanks for your comments Tony :) Cheers, Mark
One of the best reviews I have ever seen!
...and the pics are so clear and crisp. Thanks for sharing your wonderful watch Gilbert
So many reasons to get this watch ...
First: many thanks for such a detailed review with some great pictures. Congratulations to your Patek. I just tried on this one also recently and must say: it feels really good on the wrist. The overall quality is superb, although the clasp is a bit firm/...
I see we feel the same here
Indeed the thickness and lightness of the 5712 is something that seduces a lot, and it is finally what can best help choosing between a Nautilus version or another. I appreciate this criterion everyday. Thanks you very much for your words Moritz. Cheers, ...
Thanks, Boréale for the review.
Your satisfaction and passion for the 5712 definitely shines through your report. The 5712 is probably my favorite Nautilus. Gotta love the 240 caliber. Wear it well. Aloha, Bob
I will !
... wear it well and until now I must say I can't take it off my wrist more than 24h. Nice to see how you share these feelings about this watch, thanks for your comments Bob ;) Cheers, Mark
Great Post!
Thank you for the wonderful post. I have a 5980/1A, and I initially set out for the 5712... I was going to get the FP Journe Centigraphe Sport next month... but now I will struggle with getting the 5712 instead! Either way, I am sure I won't go wrong. Bes...
Great project
The 5980 is a great watch and another kind of Nautilus than the 5711 or 5712. It's been 2 months sharp since I bought it and I still feel as the first day. I compeltly understand your feeling about a 2nd Nautilus here as I love them all. Only you can let ...
Well Boreale, I got the 5712 as well
After much consideration, I sprang for the 5712 last week. I ordered one in January from my AD and it came in last week just in time for my birthday. (At least that is what I told my wife) She then went on to say "I thought your new car was for your birth...
You are a very patient,
It would be to hard for me to wait that long, but finally all come at once :) Congratulations for your 5712 (and the "goodies" as well :p)! The Nautilus is a beautiful watch and the 5712 is a jewel among this line. Wear them in good health ;) Cheers, Mark...
Most Thorough Nautilus Review Ever
You have given the most thorough Nautilus review I've seen! Bravo My 5712a is my daily wearer, wear yours in good health.
It is my daily wearer too
It's been a little more than a month since I got it and I don't think I left it even once. Happy to see you too love it that much ! Thanks for your nice comments :) Cheers, Mark
Great Review !!! I have question though
I have to agree with many that this one of the best reviews of this watch in a long time. My question is due those of you who own this watch wear it while showering or swimming in a pool ?
Hi Jeremy
Thank you for your words, it was a pleasure to share it with this community. Concerning the waterproof issue, I've been told when I bought it not to swim with it nor to go in a sauna. In fact you can have splash of water on it but it seems to be all. Best...
AN excellent acquisition and review Mark! Thank you!
May I ask if you considered the WG version of this and if so, what prompted you to get the SS version. I know of the point whereby this is a sports watch and hence it should be in steel so some feel but I am wondering if there were any other consideration...
Quite easy choice finally
Hi Arthur, ...and thanks! Concerning the material, I really wanted the bracelet and not a leather strap. I really like also the Royal Oak for the design and, for the same reasons, I see the Nautilus only alltogether with its bracelet. Thus leading in look...
The 5712
has for quite a while peaked my interest and I got to try on a WG version the other day. But yes, been of interest to me for a while now and I believe this will be a piece to add to my ever shrinking stable. Congrats again. Arthur
Hello Mark
Hello Mark, I still have your 1815 and I am very happy with her. Recently I have purchased like you a 5712 to replace my 5711 which I deemed too mere. Best regards, Henri
Happy news!
Hello Henri, Welcome on the forum, I'm glad to see you here. I was wondering how was it going for you and the 1815 as I was looking some old pictures I still have on my computer. It is a great Lange. Congratulations for your 5712 too! It's a really enjoya...
Hello Mark
I did not receive your message in my mail box. Just see it in the thread. I love my 5212 as you. I had planned to sell the lange for a PP 5205 but I have resigned. The more I wear the lange the more I like her. Hope to meet you again in Paris. Henri
Lange for 5205?
Hi Henri, Which Lange did you plan to trade for 5205? I recently was comparing Lange AC to PP5205 and I like the Lange better. May be Patek has a better movement though. Curious what you experience is with Lange? Thanks!
Hi Mark, I planned to...
Hi Mark, I planned to trade the 1815 and add a lot of money for the 5205. But I am not sure enough to go for the 5205. I like the black dial but I deem the readability not good for me. Today I have 6: PP5296, PP5712, LS1815, AP15300, ROLEX Sub C, Dayto Ze...
There is always a next one,
Hello Henri, The 5205 is also a very nice watch, with its Quantieme annuel etc... Lange and Patek, two very different brands and I'm glad you kept the Lange. Anyway, you'll still have time in the future to change. Concerning the forum, you don't receive a...
Hello again Mark, Thanks for...
Hello again Mark, Thanks for the tip ! I had never posted before on Purists. Just reading... Cheers, Henri Le 23 janv. 2013 à 22:26, www watchprosite
5712
enjoyed reading....and i could not agree more, after lot of thought, i went for it and got my 5712 this summer (June) and have not taken it off since, its a great all day and all occasions watch....
Absolutley,
I'm glad you enjoyed it, you made a very find choice. The kind of watch that is to be kept. Cheers, Mark
Thank you Mark for a lovely review...impact on me is ...
... that I want to try on a Nautilus now to see how it feels !! Taking this step I might have you to thank for (in getting a beautiful piece) and blame (in breaking my budget). Enjoy your new baby !! Cheers, Gordon
That 's indeed something I encourage you to do,
the comfort of the watch and its thinness is really something that charmed me. You should absolutely have a try at it! Share your feeling with us if you do so Gordon :) Cheers, Mark
Well, that's a tough question
On an aesthetical standpoint the unusual dial layout is definitely in commun. As they also share the same 240, it is difficult to say they are not. But the style of the rest of the watches (case+bracelet/strap) are definitely from 2 different worlds and h...
Great review of a sublime piece
It's a special piece and adheres closely with the original design due to its thinness. You hit all the highlights...congrats and enjoy.
Thanks a lot
and you're right saying that it respects its ancestor. I find it to be a great Patek. Cheers, Mark
Thank you for the in depth review to my 1st Patek.
I especially enjoyed the comparisons between the Patek and the Lange. At the time of my purchase, I was moving back and forth between the 5712 and the Lange 1 Moonphase. After much humming and hawing, I decided to go for the sportier one. So far, I have n...
We had the same hesitations
I fully understand your will to add a Lange, this is something I have in mind too. Thanks for the comment ;) Cheers, Mark
