Hey everyone, so I’ve been wanting to get a new watch lately. I was thinking about getting the AP Royal Oak Chrono, but finally made up my mind to go for the PP Nautilus 5712R instead. Man, this wasn’t an easy decision!
I started by doing a ton of research. Seriously, I spent hours reading reviews and comparing different options. I even went to a few stores to try some on. You know, just to get a feel for them on my wrist. It’s a big purchase, so I wanted to be absolutely sure.
- First, I looked at the history of the Nautilus line. It turns out the 5712 is pretty special because it was the first one to have a leather strap option. That’s kind of cool, right?
- Then, I started checking out prices. Let me tell you, these things aren’t cheap! I found a few preowned ones that were in decent condition. There was this one in 18k white gold with a silver dial that looked amazing. But it was still a hefty price tag.
- I also discovered that getting a brand new 5712 from an authorized dealer is almost impossible. The waiting list is like 7 years long, and some people even say it’s going to be discontinued soon. Talk about exclusive! But the rumors also go on that only the 5712/1A in bracelet will be retained while other models are discontinued.
After weighing all the pros and cons, I decided to pull the trigger and get a Patek Philippe 5712 with the new clasp. It arrived yesterday, and I’m beyond thrilled! It’s even more beautiful in person. The craftsmanship is just insane. I mean, you can really see the attention to detail.
Putting it on my wrist for the first time was such a great feeling. It’s comfortable, looks amazing, and just feels like a real luxury item. I know I’m going to enjoy wearing this watch for many years to come. I feel like I’ve finally joined the exclusive club of Patek Philippe owners, haha!
Now, I know some people might think it’s crazy to spend so much money on a watch. And honestly, I get it. But for me, it’s more than just a timepiece. It’s a piece of art, a symbol of success, and something I can pass down to future generations. Plus, I deserve to treat myself after all this hard work, right?
Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience with you all. If any of you are thinking about getting a Nautilus 5712, I hope this helps. It’s definitely a big decision, but in my opinion, it’s totally worth it!
