Patek Philippe introduced the original Nautilus “Jumbo” reference 3700 in 1976, designed by the legendary Gerald Genta. The design was inspired by a ship’s porthole with “ears” on the sides. Together with the Royal Oak, they pioneered the genre for luxury steel sports watch. In 2005, Patek Philippe introduced the reference 3712/1A. It was the very first Nautilus that features multiple complications with its power reserve and moon phase indicator.
The 5712/1A is a successor of the 3712/1A, it was introduced in 2006, only less than a year after the 3712/1A to commemorate Nautilus’ 30th Anniversary, together with the 5711/1A and the 5980/1A.
It measures at 40mm with a slim 8.5mm profile in Stainless Steel, iconic with the rounded octagonal shape bezel with the porthole inspired design and integrated Stainless Steel bracelet.

The reference 5212A was introduced in 2019, a stainless steel Calatrava with an unusual complication, a weekly calendar.
A stainless steel Calatrava is a rarity, as in the past 10 years there were only less than a handful stainless steel Calatrava ever made, and most of them are limited edition.
