Gary_g's post captures the essence of luxury watch collecting: the joy of wearing a cherished timepiece in a beautiful setting and sharing that passion with fellow enthusiasts. His photographic journey through South Florida with a Patek Philippe 5712A, alongside friends' watches, highlights the communal spirit and aesthetic appreciation central to the WatchProSite community. This post serves as a timeless reminder of how personal experiences elevate the appreciation of horological masterpieces.
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 love Miami, hope to be down in surfside/bal harbor soon
I don’t time in sunny isles and bal harbour this trip.

The 5712 is my favorite Nautilus and Florida ain't too bad either, particularly outside the summer months...
All the best in the year ahead to you and yours!
Good weather in Florida! Enjoy!
