Mark in Paris shares a collection of stunning photographs featuring his Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5712, inviting the community to appreciate its beauty and offer feedback on his photography. This post highlights the enduring appeal of the 5712 and the passion collectors have for capturing its essence.
(any advice are oc welcome)





The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak reference 5712 represents a 36mm iteration within the Royal Oak series, produced during the 1980-1990 period. This reference features a blue dial configuration paired with stainless steel construction throughout both case and bracelet.
The 36mm stainless steel case houses the automatic caliber 2121 movement, delivering a 40-hour power reserve. The watch incorporates a fixed octagonal bezel and sapphire crystal, with 50-meter water resistance. The integrated steel bracelet completes the stainless steel construction.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a vintage-production Royal Oak in the smaller 36mm case size. The blue dial variant offers an alternative to more common dial colors within the reference range. The decade-long production window from 1980-1990 places this reference within the early Royal Oak manufacturing period.
I appreciate, this is exactly something I liked in this picture and that I found again inother pictures I post another time. This matches very nicely with blue and stainless steel. Cheers, Mark
so mint. Not a trace of wear, so scratch, even on the polished parts that gets scratched so easily? Do you wear it? :) If you do, chapeau bas!
First, these pictures were taken only 2 months after the purchase and secondly, I took of some of the scatches after the shooting session. But yes I wear it often and it starts to have some scratches here and there but that's how it has to be if you wear it as much as you like :) Cheers, Mark
.. for the work on making such cool pics.
Some ADs and the Patek boutiques for sure manage to play with light in theire display boxes as you show on the first shot. The oily look is what like about steel watches. Thanks for the images from a lovely Nautilus. Best Moritz
