Overview

The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712G-001 presents the iconic Nautilus silhouette in 18k white gold, pairing a 40 mm case with a blue-grey gradient dial bearing the line's signature horizontal embossing. Beyond its striking aesthetics, the reference houses a sophisticated movement offering moon phase, power-reserve, and date indications — a combination that elevates the Nautilus well beyond a simple sport watch. Produced from 2009 through 2024, the 5712G-001 occupies a distinct position in the Nautilus family as a complication-equipped white gold variant.

History

The Nautilus line was conceived by Gerald Genta and introduced by Patek Philippe in 1976, establishing the template for the luxury sport watch genre. The 5712 reference extended that legacy by adding a moon phase complication alongside power-reserve and date displays, first appearing in the mid-2000s across several metal variants. The 5712G-001, in 18k white gold, entered production in 2009 and remained in the catalogue for approximately fifteen years, making it one of the longer-running references in the modern Nautilus family. Its extended production run and the relative rarity of white gold in the Nautilus lineup have made it a closely watched piece among serious collectors.

Notable points

  • Case and integrated bracelet crafted entirely in 18k white gold, a less common metal choice within the Nautilus range.
  • Calibre 240 PS IRM C LU is an ultra-thin automatic movement incorporating moon phase, instantaneous power-reserve, and date complications on a single dial.
  • The blue-grey gradient dial features the Nautilus's characteristic horizontal embossed relief, lending depth and texture under varied lighting.
  • The 40 mm case diameter follows the proportions established for the 5712 series, offering a wearable size that bridges sport and dress contexts.
  • A production span of roughly fifteen years (2009–2024) underscores the reference's sustained desirability within the collector community.
