Good evening everyone.

The weather has become completely autumnal, and we are experiencing pleasant, comfortable days. As the autumn leaves are coming up, many people are probably planning to travel to other regions. Before you leave, why not stop by our store and consider purchasing a watch to enhance your travel mood?

Well, this time, the popular "Nautilus" has been arriving every day at a furious pace, and among them, we would like to introduce the much talked about "Ref. 5712/1R-001" announced as a new model for 2022. This is the first time it has arrived at our store, so we expect it to be on sale soon. If you are looking for it, don't miss it until the end!

"Ref.5712/1R-001"
"Nautilus Precomplication" 18KRG

The "Ref. 5712/1R-001" was announced in the fall of 2022 and features an 18KRG (rose gold) case and bracelet.

This model features a brown dial in the same color as the case and bracelet, and is not overly flashy, but rather elegant rather than luxurious. Incidentally, the Ref. 5712R-001 with an 18KRG (rose gold) case and leather strap that was released in 2006 is still on sale, so I honestly couldn't hide my surprise when the model we're introducing this time was released.

Before we get into the main topic, let's briefly introduce the Nautilus Petite Complications that have been announced so far.

The "Ref. 3712/1A-001" was released in 2005, but was short-lived with a production period of just one year.

The year after it was released, it underwent a minor change and was replaced by the "Ref. 5712/1A-001", so the number of units produced was very small, making it a rare model that is almost never seen on the market. As a result of the sudden rise in popularity of the "Ref. 5712/1A-001", it has attracted more attention than ever before, and it seems that many people are looking for this rare piece.

In 2006, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus, the Ref. 5712/1A-001 in stainless steel, the Ref. 5712G-001 in 18KWG (white gold), and the Ref. 5712R-001 in 18KRG (rose gold) were simultaneously released .

Although it is a multi-functional model, it has excellent design and practicality due to its clever layout and thinness of 8.52mm. It comes in a variety of colors, including SS (stainless steel) with a strong sporty feel, 18KWG (white gold) with a heavy feel, and 18KRG (rose gold) with a luxurious feel. Each has its own merits, so it can be difficult to decide which one to buy.

Now that we've introduced the Nautilus Petite Complication, let's get back to the main topic.

The dial has an exquisite design with no wasted space, including a small second hand at 4 to 5 o'clock, a moon phase at 7 to 8 o'clock, a date hand around the outer periphery, and a power reserve indicator at 10 to 11 o'clock. Before the appearance of the Nautilus Petite Complication, there was only the three-hand Nautilus, so I still remember the impact it made when it first appeared.

All Nautilus models are very cool and beautifully finished, but this model is not only stylish, but also extremely practical. Although it is equipped with a complex mechanism, it has the same case diameter of 40mm and case thickness of 0.22mm as the three-hand model "Ref.5711", and it is very comfortable to wear and well-balanced when placed on the wrist. I would like you to see, touch and experience this watch for yourself.

Previously, when you wanted to expand the size of your wrist, you had to buy an additional 1.5 link, but this watch is equipped with a patented "fold-over buckle with lockable adjustment system," so you can easily adjust the size of your wrist. Not only is this watch more practical, but it's also more economical.

The movement seen through the sapphire crystal skeleton back is the "Cal.240 PS +IRM +C +LU" based on the ultra-thin automatic movement "Cal.240" equipped with a micro rotor. In fact, the base movement has not changed for about 20 years since the first "Nautilus Petite Complication" was released. This is such a wonderful movement that there is no room for improvement, and it is a testament to Patek Philippe's high technical capabilities.

The warranty date is December 2022. There are storage scratches that can be seen with a magnifying glass, but the bracelet has not been adjusted and it is an unused item.

The selling price is 30,800,000 yen (tax included)

Although it is not a price that many can easily afford, this is an exceptional product that you should definitely come to the store and experience for yourself its beauty and luxury.

summary

We have introduced the long-awaited new 2022 model "Ref. 5712/1R-001", but it is rare to find an unused watch at this price. Since it is an extremely popular model, we do not expect the next shipment to arrive anytime soon. If you have been looking for this watch, we look forward to your early inquiry.

We will continue to bring you fascinating Patek Philippe watches, so please look forward to the next Patek discussion!
