This Patek Philippe reference 5712GR is offered as a full set with the original polished wooden box, booklets and certificate. The elegant two-tone Nautilus model in 18-carat white gold and warm pink gold is much rarer to find than the coveted standard steel version. It is probably considered the most "unknown" Nautilus Patek Philippe ever made. Originally created for the Asian market, production of this rare sports watch was discontinued in 2016 after only four years.


Reference 5712 was launched on occasion of t he 30-year anniversary of the Nautilus range in 2006 and features a moon phase display, hand date and power reserve display – it is one of the few Nautilus models with dynamic displays on the traditional, horizontally embossed dial. Alternating satin-finished and polished areas on the gently rounded bezel emphasise the sportive appearance of the watch. It is powered by the ultra-flat automatic calibre 240 PS IRM C LU with an eccentric 22 K mini rotor with engraved Calatrava cross; the transparent sapphire crystal back reveals the full beauty of the movement to the viewer.
