Catalogue Essay
The Patek Philippe Nautilus, reference 3712 fitted with power reserve, date and moon phases, was manufactured for a very short time indeed. Rumoured to be discontinued after only 8 months in production, this reference was replaced with the 5712 when Patek Philippe celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus family. The way in which to identify the difference between the 3712 and 5712, the reference 3712 still has a partial numeral at 7 o'clock, where on the 5712 it has been removed.

Offered in mint new condition, and still retaining all original accessories, this watch is sure to provide much pleasure to its new owner.
