Its Perfect

I am fairly certain at this point that I am going to list my blue 15300 this weekend, which I never thought I would do. This 5712 I had been waiting for has hit the soft spot and I just cannot bring myself to not wear it. Such an amazing watch.

5712/1A is the best of the best. 9 months later and I still get that excitement and "wow" response every time I wear it, as much as the day I bought it.

Your photos certainly helped me want one more and more!

Congrats, I like the 5712A a lot too. Hope Patek won't discontinue it any time soon.

Truly spectacular. Nothing beats a steel blue nautilus in beauty and wearability imho.

Yeah, I may do a gold piece one day but I am just not there yet..... this is a hard one to put down. I love the 5164a and plan to throw it in the mix but jeesh, this just ticks all the boxes for me. I am really happy with my PP trio!

What an absolute stunner!

I do love the 15300 though. I walked away from a white dial a few years ago hoping I’d find a blue and haven’t found the right one. May just have to keep an eye out for your ad

I'm wondering if I'd drop my 15202 when my 5712 comes home

Looks great, had my 5711 out in the sun for the first time this year pretty much, nearly got run over staring at it as usual in early Spring.

Likely. I have a hard time comparing them even, cannot believe I just typed that.

I may try to get it up tomorrow if I can find the time to put a proper ad together.

The 5712 is a stunner!

Hopefully the mods don’t get on you for shilling your 15300.

Glad to enable! I wish more people can experience this amazing watch! It was my grail for a while, and still is!

You won't regret it. I have a scintilla of regret that I let my 15202 go because I think it's a gorgeous watch (especially the bracelet), but the 5712 is like wrapping silk on my wrist. So comfortable and that dial is much more interesting than the 15202.
