Nautilus ref. 5712 vs ref. 3712 the differences - part 1 - "Production numbers"
Hi everybody collectors friends and Happy New Year to you all
I'm starting with a new study journey and I'm focusing on the differences between Nautilus ref. 5712 vs ref. 3712. I've found a lot of interested about it so here I am
I hope you'll appreciate.
5712 vs 3712 the differences - part 1 - "the production numbers". The 3712 was produced in 2005 and it had a short life, it was discountinued after just one year or a little more. In 2006 was introduced the 5712 for celebrating the 30th anniversary of the first Nautilus (ref. 3700) and after more than 10 years it is still in production. My assumptions (based on statistical calculations on a large amount of data ) lead me to think of a number of 7-800 units for the 3712 and of 4-5000 units for the 5712 (and still counting). Among this 7-800 ref. 3712/01A we will find a first and a second series (we'll talk about that) Obviously these are only assumptions but the owner of the absolute truth can only be Patek Philippe itself. If someone has got some different numbers is very welcome.
All of this will be inserted in the new version of the "A study of the Patek Philippe ref. 3700 Nautilus"

Marco, this will be very interesting.
I have both and often I have checked the differences. Naturally, 3712 is something special. I wear both but for obvious reasons 5712 more. Both are great watches. Best, Kari
That's a very enjoyable new theme that begins
Thanks a lot and congratulations for sharing your fantastic work. As a 5712 owner, I won't miss a bit. Best, Mark PS: I added links to your other parts for people don't miss them.
Naturally they knew.
All Nautilus till 3712 had a two part case. But the demand of 3712 was huge and to answer that demand Patek needed to think different ways: their solution was to make the production of the watch a little bit easier and cheaper. Best, Kari
