Hi Emmanuel, the 5712 looks great in the metal 💪 Wish
you will see one soon !
Never knew about the GR version. Congratulations to the owners !
Given there is the /1R rose bracelet, perhaps a /1G white gold bracelet might eventually be introduced ?
Nautilus ref. 5712 – An overview
The Patek Philippe Nautilus has become an icon . Among its “ complicated ” variants , the ref. 5712 , introduced in 2006 , with its asymmetrical dial , is undoubtedly one of the most iconic . So let's have a look at the different versions of this referenc...
You've never seen ANY 5712 in real life???
I see so many at Art Basel, Concours d'Elegance, and at auction houses! They're almost commonplace! At one event, I saw eight Nautiluses (although most were 5711 not 5712)! And I was only at that event for one hour and met only 10% of the people! To answe...
Nope! Never seen a 5712!
Partly partly because I lack experience in the watch world and partly because my main focus is dress watches: I’ve never looked for a 5711 or a 5712. I love the cephalopod nautilus ! Best, Emmanuel
The 5712 was always in my top 3 Nautilus iterations....
Perhaps even my favorite. Of the material variations, I like titanium the most, then white gold and steel.... Like you, I've never seen one for myself other than on a stranger in passing. Thank you very much for sharing another excellent pictorial on a ti...
The asymmetrical dial gives this reference
a very unique look and appeal. I personally prefer the G to the T because I prefer the monochrome dial… Thanks for your kind words, Filip! Best, Emmanuel
Yes, the monochrome design is truly outstanding....
When applied to this dial layout!

Maybe someday !
I think the /1R is the only one still in the current catalog. And I personally find the GR quite attractive. Best, Emmanuel
I grew to appreciate the asymmetry of the dial, which initially made me disfavor it.
But then seeing it in reality changed my opinion immediately. I love the strap versions, so that titanium one with the contrast of the subdials is a dream!
My favorite Nautilus!
Thank you, Emmanuel, for this post! I have had the 5712/1A three times. The first at its original price of approx. 17k Euro, the last at today's market prices. Even though I loved the fascinating dial with it's assymetric layout and ever changing blue sha...
Very interesting feedback, Anatol, thanks for sharing!
The 15202 is another icon: could you say why you wear it more often than the 5712? Does it have to do with wearability? Aesthetics ? Best, Emmanuel
Not so easy...
Even though dial and case of the Nautilus are very nice, the bracelet always appeared a bit boring or old fashioned to me. Also, todays prices are so much beyond reasonable that any weakness of the watch weighs in evev more. The RO Jumbo, on the other han...
