STAFF COMMENTS
Dear Mr. I, thank you very much for choosing the long-desired Nautilus Ref. 5712/1A-001 as your first Patek Philippe.
Although he already owns representative models from Rolex and Audemars Piguet, he had always dreamed of buying a Nautilus, and when I heard that he had made the bold decision, I was deeply impressed by his initiative.
As someone who runs a company while still in his 20s and is surrounded by many fellow executives who love watches, it was perhaps inevitable that he would own a watch that combines elegance and presence. The way it shone on his wrist suited him perfectly, and it blended beautifully with his outfit.
Please come back and visit us again wearing your Nautilus. We look forward to welcoming you with friends. We hope that this watch will be a powerful addition to your future endeavors.
