Patek Philippe 5712/1A Nautilus SS Blue Dial

The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712/1A‑001 is a refined expression of horological elegance, first introduced in 2006 as part of the Nautilus collection’s 30th anniversary. It houses the ultra‑thin self‑winding calibre 240 PS IRM C LU, featuring a 22k micro‑rotor and delivering a 48‑hour power reserve, while powering a poetic moonphase, a power reserve indicator, a small seconds, and a date display in an asymmetrical, organically balanced layout. The 40 mm stainless steel case, with its signature rounded‑octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet, measures a mere 8.52 mm thick and 44.2 mm lug‑to‑lug, offering exceptional wearability and case finishing that blends brushed and polished surfaces with finesse. The horizontally embossed blue dial transitions from deep navy to lighter blue, enhancing depth and legibility, while applied white‑gold indices and luminescent hands uphold Patek Philippe’s commitment to understated luxury. With 60 meters of water resistance and a sapphire exhibition caseback revealing the beautifully finished movement, this reference embodies both technical sophistication and collector appeal. Discontinued quietly in early 2025, the 5712/1A‑001 now holds a special place in the Nautilus lineage as a steel complication icon. Like New with Patek Philippe box, setting pin and papers dated 2010.
