Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712/1A Moonphase in Stainless Steel, a very rare timepiece that simply doesn’t come to market often.
Arguably, one of the best configurations of Patek Nautilus in ultra-thin case of only 8.5mm and currently the only Nautilus from Patek in production, in the flesh of stainless steel, at the case size of 40mm. The alternatives of 5726/1A and 5990/1A while still being produced in stainless steel, they’re housed inside a bigger case and much thicker, leaving the 5712/1A the one of a kind offering from Patek.
What makes the 5712/1A more special is that despite the ultra-thin case, it showcases the moon phase and power reserve complication, which is not a very common combination given that an added complication generally adds case thickness to the watch.
With the rumors around the corner, and Patek’s general tendency of discontinuing their iconic timepieces, there’s a high possibility that the 5712/1A will also follow the footsteps of the 5711/1A that was discontinued in 2021 and will likely be replaced with a precious metal alternative.
With the 50th anniversary of the Nautilus collection now due next year in 2026, this is an incredible timepiece and an opportunity to acquire a timepiece of history, a masterpiece that you can take pride in day in and day out, while enjoying the work-of-art on the wrist, that has a history and legacy of nearly 5 decades.
The 5712/1A as showcased in the photos, presents in rare Mint and unpolished condition. The watch is keeping time to Patek specs with a solid amplitude suggesting that it will not require a service in the near future.
The watch comes complete as full set with all boxes and papers dated 2018, extra links and the Patek pin pusher. This timepiece is also an Australian stock making it a little more special for Australian customers.
