Catalogue Essay
Launched in 2006, reference 5712/1A is without a doubt one of the most coveted modern sport's watch models. One of the ultimate status symbols, this complicated version of the timeless Nautilus exudes casual elegance and is so sought-after that, according to Patek Philippe, the wait to receive one easily lasts years.

The present example is not only available immediately, but it furthermore is one of the earliest examples manufactured, dating back to 2007. A final layer of appeal is offered by the Geneva Seal present on the movement. Only the examples manufactured circa between 2006 and 2010 bear this "old school" distinction, since 2010 Patek Philippe Seal is used.
