First: many thanks for such a detailed review with some great pictures.

Congratulations to your Patek.

I just tried on this one also recently and must say: it feels really good on the wrist.

The overall quality is superb, although the clasp is a bit firm/stiff to open.

But this would be only a matter of adjusting the friction.

I loved details like the porcelain balls on each side of the clap, that you mentioned too.

The 5726, that I tried the same day on, is simply to thick compared to the 5712.

Was thinking to get the new all steel 5726, but thinness is paramount in this league of watches.


A fine Patek

Indeed the thickness and lightness of the 5712 is something that seduces a lot, and it is finally what can best help choosing between a Nautilus version or another.

I appreciate this criterion everyday.

Thanks you very much for your words Moritz.

Cheers,

Mark

Your satisfaction and passion for the 5712 definitely shines through your report. The 5712 is probably my favorite Nautilus. Gotta love the 240 caliber.

Wear it well.

Aloha,

... wear it well and until now I must say I can't take it off my wrist more than 24h.

Nice to see how you share these feelings about this watch, thanks for your comments Bob

Cheers,

Thank you for the wonderful post.  I have a 5980/1A, and I initially set out for the 5712...  I was going to get the FP Journe Centigraphe Sport next month... but now I will struggle with getting the 5712 instead!  Either way, I am sure I won't go wrong.

The 5980 is a great watch and another kind of Nautilus than the 5711 or 5712.

It's been 2 months sharp since I bought it and I still feel as the first day. I compeltly understand your feeling about a 2nd Nautilus here as I love them all.

Only you can let time going by and fix your thoughts !

Let us know

Best,

Mark

After much consideration, I sprang for the 5712 last week.  I ordered one in January from my AD and it came in last week just in time for my birthday.  (At least that is what I told my wife)  She then went on to say "I thought your new car was for your birthday?"  (I got the 2013 M5, though only two weeks after delivery it got recalled!)  So now I have the 5980A and 5712A, I think I am good on the Nautilus line for now.  Thanks again for the amazing pictures... it helped me decide!  Also, 2 weeks ago I got my IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar with Blue dial, I waited 18 months for that puppy!

It would be to hard for me to wait that long, but finally all come at once

Congratulations for your 5712 (and the "goodies" as well :p)!

The Nautilus is a beautiful watch and the 5712 is a jewel among this line.

Wear them in good health

Cheers,

Mark

You have given the most thorough Nautilus review I've seen! Bravo

My 5712a is my daily wearer, wear yours in good health.

It's been a little more than a month since I got it and I don't think I left it even once. Happy to see you too love it that much !

Thanks for your nice comments

Cheers,

Mark

I have to agree with many that this one of the best reviews of this watch in a long time. My question is due those of you who own this watch wear it while showering or swimming in a pool ? 

Thank you for your words, it was a pleasure to share it with this community.

Concerning the waterproof issue, I've been told when I bought it not to swim with it nor to go in a sauna.

In fact you can have splash of water on it but it seems to be all.

Best,

Mark

May I ask if you considered the WG version of this and if so, what prompted you to get the SS version.  I know of the point whereby this is a sports watch and hence it should be in steel so some feel but I am wondering if there were any other considerations for you seeing that price point in this case for SS and WG is not that wide.

Thanks in advance.

 

Arthur

Hi Arthur,

...and thanks!

Concerning the material, I really wanted the bracelet and not a leather strap. I really like also the Royal Oak for the design and, for the same reasons, I see the Nautilus only alltogether with its bracelet. Thus leading in looking to the SS versions only.

I didn't have in mind, at all,  the issue concerning how SS would be more in phase with the sporty style of this watch, compared with gold. But I guess that, unconsciously, I know that Gold is quite fragile and heavy. This would have made me lean toward a SS material anyway as I'm wearing it as an every day watch.

Are you considering to purchase one in the future ?

Cheers,

Mark

has for quite a while peaked my interest and I got to try on a WG version the other day.  But yes, been of interest to me for a while now and I believe this will be a piece to add to my ever shrinking stable.

Hello Mark,

I still have your 1815 and I am very happy with her.

Recently I have purchased like you a 5712 to replace my 5711 which I deemed too mere.

Best regards,

Henri

 

 

Hello Henri,

Welcome on the forum, I'm glad to see you here.

I was wondering how was it going for you and the 1815 as I was looking some old pictures I still have on my computer. It is a great Lange.

Congratulations for your 5712 too! It's a really enjoyable watch (with feelings you already knew with your 5711 I presume).

Here are some other pictures of the 5712 I posted not long ago : patek.watchprosite.com /


Thanks for posting and I hope to read you often on this forum again.

Cheers,

Mark

I did not receive your message in my mail box. Just see it in the thread.

Hi Henri,

Hi Mark,
I planned to trade the 1815 and add a lot of money for the 5205. But I am not sure enough to go for the 5205. I like the black dial but I deem the readability not good for me.
Today I have 6: PP5296, PP5712, LS1815, AP15300, ROLEX Sub C, Dayto Zenith. That is enough. I enjoy my new 5712 and will see for new projects later.
I love the 1815, the perfection of the movement. Feel the case a little bit large at the beginning but now I like it.
Best regards, Henri

Hello Henri,
