I would say buy it, its my grail watch...BUT I am put off by the fact that it wasn't double sealed despite coming from an AD

cmcm3 · 29 July 2020, 04:15 PM

Buy it. You clearly love the look of it and it is such a unique looking watch so isn’t something you get bored of. It is a lovely light thing to wear, so comfortable, honestly, just buy the sucker!!

WWC · 29 July 2020, 04:26 PM

What are you waiting for?!

I had to wait 14 months for mine and trust me, time went by slow

qrc36 · 29 July 2020, 04:37 PM

Buy it. For me, the opportunity arose (at Watches of Switzerland in Knightsbridge) although I wasn't really keen (I already had the 5711 white and 5726 grey). What I didn't like was the asymmetry, compared to the beautiful symmetry of the 5726. I bought it anyway.

The more you look at it, the more you'll like it. Buy it. You won't go wrong.

mongrelnomoad · 29 July 2020, 09:04 PM

If you don’t want it, I’ll take it ;)

JR16 · 29 July 2020, 09:29 PM

My first and only nautilus... chose it over the 5711. Feels perfect in the wrist and I never get tired of staring at the dial. But if you aren’t all-in on the 5712 for whatever reason, would let someone else get it and save yourself US $40k.

It's a fantastic looking watch in my opinion. Sadly I think its too small for my wrists. If they made it in 44 I'd jump on it.

ap1 · 29 July 2020, 09:54 PM

Don’t over think, buy

Pongster · 29 July 2020, 10:02 PM

That was my second choice if wasnt able to snag a 5711. Go get it. :)

GeraldGentaFan · 30 July 2020, 06:49 AM

5712 1a was my first ever Patek. I bought it in the London salon back when all Nautilus where easily available. Preferred it over the 5711. It was the start of a long and enduring love affair. Now I own all Nautilus models except for the 3712 and 5990. But if there is one Nautilus I will never part with, it is my 5712 that started it all. Buy it. You will not regret it.

Thanks to everyone for sharing. Very much appreciate the input.

Well, I decided last night to go for it. Seemed like a no brainer to me. Went back to my AD this afternoon and am now a new member of the PP club. It’s a beauty for sure and feel incredibly fortunate to own this timepiece. Just need to get used to the weight as it’s considerably lighter than my other watches. I think I’ll get used to it

Here it is on my wrist

Congrats! Weight doesn’t make a watch better. The one on your wrist right there is perfect. Enjoy!

+1. Not sure I understand when people talk about the "heft" on your wrist making it better. I have a day date and it feels like a brick. At times, that's fine, but I much prefer the lighter and more comfortable watches in my collection for regular wear.

Don't think it gets any better, it was my first nice watch that I purchased years ago...problem was where do you go from there. everyday that I put it on it feels special. you won't regret it!

sgwatch · 30 July 2020, 01:47 PM

Congratulations! What a great "first" Patek. Love the asymmetry

Wow great to hear. Enjoy that awesome watch.

Seeing yours makes me want to wear mine!

Wear in good health.

I'm a bit shocked that an AD would be sitting on one of these long enough to even offer it to someone.

Surely they have a ton of other high paying loyalists who've been waiting for one for years.

Strange. Strange, I say.

That said, if you do get it, enjoy it in the best of health! It's a beauty.

andyol1966 · 30 July 2020, 05:15 PM

You are a lucky boy. Congrats on a stunner!

It was my first PP,it s light,thin,streamlined like a supercar.Great presence on wrist lovely complications,WR fine for swimming

but it s not a typical beach

watch IMHO.Very versatile,short or suit doesn t matter it matches to all attire.Expensive?yes but I think you wouldn t be here if that s count.
Scratches -with a minimum wrist awareness easy to avoid deep and big ones,some hairlines are unavoidable even if you keep it in the safe unworn

go for it.

HopWatch · 30 July 2020, 11:25 PM

Sincere thanks to all for the well wishes. Still in somewhat of a fog that I have this watch. Never ever asked for it. Now I know what others have experienced when getting lucky with a watch that has a waitlist for years by simply walking in and being taken care of by your AD. I’m in shock right now. Love my AD and my first PP. Have a wonderful day all. One more pic on morning #1.
