    Wow I certainly love that!
    I am sure it would set me back at least a few watches,

    One of my favorite watches with an own face!

    ... But...I just can't get used to those polished mid links of the bracelet. That will be the reason why I probably never will purchase that one.. I real bummer for me.

    You definitely gets your self a nice watch, no doubts on that! ;)

    Very nice that is a gorgeous watch and looks stunning in real life. I don't think photos do it justice.

    That's a great watch! I love how the dial looks in different conditions. It can vary from quite bright blue to a velvety grey.

    Wow...!!!!!

    At the risk of boring you, a couple of slightly better pics...

    Generally not much is good value from Blowers but in comparison to a 5711 that was a great purchase and the haggle must have been tremendously enjoyable too. The discontinued 5712 represents great value for money and it's comforting to know that residuals are solid. It will be a very hard watch to let go now that you have tasted that sweet Patek magic. Enjoy.

    Heard a rumour that Patek had decided to discontinue the 5712.It appears they must have had a change of heart as it's still listed in the current catalogue.

    I couldn't say it's the "prettiest" with those complications somewhat cluttering a gorgeous dial, but it's got character and class, and of course virtually unbeatable quality.
    An absolute beauty.

    I'd like one, which is more than I can say for that shirt...... ;)

    Mmmmm!

    My old man has the moon phase model.

    Best watch in the world!!

    This is a great watch. I love the Nautilus with the blue 5711 top of my grail list.

    You think I can afford a decent shirt after buying that?!

    Yes I can see how that might be an issue!
    Anyhow, great watch.

    Few better ways to spend that sort of money, if one is fortunate enough to have it to spare (IMHO).

  29. #79
    Great purchase. I'd love a Nautilus, I bet you're loving every minute wearing that!

  30. #80
    Sheer class. Does anyone wear a Nautilus on a leather strap? I like that look, even though the bracelet is of course iconic.

  31. #81
    Gorgeous watch, I have also been toying with the idea of selling of the collection for the same watch. The temptation!!

    Congratulations....that's a beautiful watch......I'm not generally a PP fan but the Nautilus and Aquanaut are just superb.

    Out of my range...probably for ever....but if I ever got six little numbers I'd have one!

    If ever you were to be a one watch man, I can't think of a better way of doing it

    I hate Marmite, but love your watch. Wear and enjoy (just wish I could afford one :-) )

    That is one beautiful timepiece, and also my dream watch

    Been looking at Patek Nautilus for about 2 years now. Tried several variants and pretty much decided I wanted a 5711. Few and far between though, and then a 5712 came up at a decent price (if 'decent' could ever be applied to Patek prices). Now I know from past threads that they are a bit of a Marmite watch, so if you don't like your Marmite look away now because I bought it.







    Very hard to photograph well and I only had ten minutes this evening, but you get the idea. FAR better in real life that in a photo in my view. Some watches are great in photo's but not so great to wear. This is just the opposite. It seems to come alive on the wrist if that makes any sense. Very comfortable, light and slim as well, which suits me. I was unsure about the dial at first (hence preference for the 5711) but it's actually much clearer and more attractive than I thought in the flesh. I may actually prefer it, and you have to have complications in a Patek, don't you?

    The most expensive watch I've ever bought, but first impressions very positive. I have terrible form, but I might keep this one.

    Fantastic watch. I don't think you really get the Nautilus until you've seen it in the flesh. The detail and quality IMHO are just superb and the way it sits on the wrist (at least on mine) is just so right!

    Congratulations

    I think they are an absolutely superb unit and disregarding price they are superbly made, very aspirational, and just have that exclusiveness of appearing in far smaller numbers. Id love one and hope you are enjoying this one, its the one my eye is always drawn to in the range

    Very nice! I love it when little touches jump out like that - well, I suppose the rotor isn't that small!

    There are a lot of details to be seen at their watches, for the really expensive complicated high end models you need to have a loupe to see all the hidden details into places that you might never notice otherwise. It's crazy how much attention to details they put.

    And of course with gold being heavy it makes the micro rotor more efficient (and fancy).
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    I owned a Nautilus for 20 years and I have never seen a pic of one that made it look quite right. But, when it is on the wrist and you look at the proportions and the detail finishing it becomes a completely different proposition, for me anyway.
    Congratulations, it's a lovely piece.
