Patek Philippe 5712 Nautilus
Few references capture the imagination of collectors like the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712. Introduced as the successor to the legendary 3712, the 5712 pairs Gérald Genta’s iconic porthole case with a beautifully asymmetrical dial—complete with moon‑phase, power‑reserve, and date subdial. Show more
Why the Nautilus 5712 Stands Out
- Signature Design – Slim 40 mm case, octagonal bezel, integrated bracelet, and horizontal grooves that shift from slate blue‑grey in daylight to deep ocean tones indoors.
- In‑House Calibre 240 PS – Ultra‑thin micro‑rotor movement allows the case to sit just 8.5 mm high while still offering a 48‑hour power reserve.
- Versatile Complications – Off‑center small seconds, moon‑phase display, and power‑reserve indicator create an engaging dial without sacrificing legibility.
- Investment Appeal – Limited production and skyrocketing demand mean the Patek Philippe 5712 price has outperformed many luxury‑watch indices in recent years.
Patek Philippe 5712 Price
Auction results from Phillips and Christie’s show steel 5712/1A watches regularly hammering well above $100 K, with rare, full‑set pieces topping $130 K. Rose‑gold 5712R examples, especially unworn, can exceed $150 K at specialist dealers. Why the premium?- Limited production: Annual output is a fraction of demand.
- Complications: Ultra‑thin Calibre 240 PS with moon‑phase, power‑reserve, and date.
- Icon status: Gérald Genta design + cult following = resilient resale values.
