Catalogue Essay
-Released at the Baselworld 2006, the Patek Philippe ref. 5712 was released together with the refs. 5711 and 5980.

What is notably worth mentioning is that the ref. 5712 in pink gold was the first ever Nautilus model to be fitted with a leather strap.
-The present example is offered in excellent overall condition and as of February 2024 has been discontinued, making this a wonderful opportunity for collectors to acquire an attractive example of this sought after reference.
