Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712/1A-001 Moon Phases Stainless Steel Blue Dial (2022)

The 5712/1A-001 stands among the most distinctive and beloved Nautilus references ever produced, distinguished by its asymmetrical dial layout that has become iconic within Patek Philippe's catalog. Combining moon phase, date pointer, small seconds, and power reserve in a single ultra-thin steel Nautilus, it offers a complication set unmatched elsewhere in the collection. Discontinued in 2025 as part of Patek Philippe's strategic catalog refresh, the reference has since attained significantly elevated collectible status, prized for the harmonious balance of Gérald Genta's 1976 sports design with the contemplative elegance of celestial and astronomical indications — an unusual pairing that has secured its place among the most cerebral expressions of the Nautilus line.

The 40mm case in stainless steel measures just 8.52mm thick, framed by the signature rounded octagonal bezel with alternating satin and polished finishes. The black-blue gradient dial with horizontal embossing displays the asymmetric layout: moon phase and date pointer at seven, small seconds at four, and power reserve indicator between ten and eleven. The self-winding Caliber 240 PS IRM C LU — an ultra-thin movement with 22-karat gold micro-rotor and Patek Philippe Seal certification — delivers 48 hours of reserve, completed by an integrated stainless steel Nautilus bracelet with fold-over clasp.
