Patek PhilippeNautilus Moonphase

KEY FACTS

• Designed by the eponymous Gérald Genta, the Patek Philippe Nautilus is widely regarded as the grail piece for many a collector, and is viewed as world’s most sought-after luxury sports watch
• ​Since its release in 1976 by the ‘Holy Trinity’ Swiss watchmaker, the Nautilus has undergone a series of evolutionary changes, yet its characterful rounded octagonal case and ‘ears’ on either side have remained a constant
• ​Among the plethora of Nautilus models in the current Patek Philippe catalogue, the 5712G introduces some extra visual and technical charm through the integration of several complications, including a moon phase, radial date and power reserve
• ​This 2016 reference also delivers plenty of understated luxury thanks to its brushed and polished white gold case, which is paired with a black leather strap fitted with a white gold clasp
• On the underside, a sapphire crystal displays the in-house calibre 240 PS IRM C LU, which is elaborately decorated and features a 22K yellow gold micro-rotor stamped with the Patek Philippe Calatrava cross
• Offered by a private UK-based collector
• ​Accompanied by its Patek Philippe-branded wooden display box, protective fabric sleeve, outer packaging, guarantee / factory-issue certificate of origin, booklets, and Patek Philippe-branded leather document wallet
• An additional, worn, Patek Philippe alligator strap is included with the lot 
• The watch was serviced by Patek Philippe in 2022, and the current owner will supply proof thereof upon request
• Graded ‘A’ by the vendor who advises the watch good working order and after being serviced has remained on a winder
