Any difference between a 5712 and a 5054

 
 By: Greenwatch : April 14th, 2012-07:33
Hi, I always wonder why the 5712 appears to be a highly desired and coveted Nautilus model. Looking at the dial, it appears to resemble a 5054 except for the case which is in an Officer Calatrava. Being new to Patek having acquiring a Nauiti and a Calatrava models recently, I also wonder if the 5054 was a previously highly desirable piece due to the dial design. Appreciate any inputs that may be shared. Thank you.

I don't know if

5054 was previously highly desirable. I think that this model is still very desirable and I have been looking for years to find a perfect specimen. I finally found one and next Wednesday I'll get a very nice 5054P. It will make a nice pair with my 3712.

Best, Kari

It makes perfect sense then...

Thanks for sharing your thought Kari and congratulations on a great catch.

Also, this is what I love about this forum, you can ask questions freely on Patek and someone will always be sharing his thoughts.

I forgot to say

They are 2 watches for two different kind of usage, more casual and sporty the 5712, more elegant and formal the 5054.
And that's imho the reason why the 5712 is more requested, because It's a pretty more versatile watch usable with casual Clothing in the same way you can use with a Formal suit.
I really love the 240 calibers and its decenterd micro rotor, just as i like the asimmetrical dial with power reserve and moonphases...so...i wasn't able to choose....






5054 because of its size 35/36mm

is losing its charm in the modern day standard.  Nowadays, anything smaller than 37mm (dress watch) is considered small. Whereas 5712 is a good size sport watch. which can also be dressed up in a suit if needed.

Thanks for the insights...

Between the two, I like the 5712 more because of the nautilus case. It's more sporty and versatile. Thanks for sharing!
