The **[[Patek Philippe Nautilus|Nautilus]] Ref. 5712/1** (and similar **5722** and **5724**) is a sports watch by [[Patek Philippe]], introduced in [[2006]] to replace the single-year [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 3712|Nautilus 3712]].

This is the Moon Phase Nautilus model from the second generation of the [[Patek Philippe Nautilus|Nautilus family]].

=== Info ===
This legendary sports watch by [[Patek Philippe]], designed by the famous watches designer [[Genta, Gérald Charles|Gérald Genta]], in [[1976]] excited by its combination of luxury and [[stainless steel]]. Its design is inspired by the shape of ship portholes. The case is quite large but the thin case and integrated bracelet makes it wear smaller. Although known mainly as a steel watch, the Nautilus was also available in steel and gold, 18K [[yellow gold|yellow]] and [[white gold]], as well as [[platinum]].

Patek measures the case at 40 mm (from 10 00 to 4 00) but others refer to it as 43 mm (as measured across the dial, from 9 00 to 3 00). Unlike the original Nautilus, with its straight hinge, the new Nautilus family is convex at the hinge and crown, matching the bezel. The new Nautilus case is also composed of three main components rather than two The solid, monobloc back is gone, with a sapphire crystal allowing the movement to be viewed, as on the short-lived [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 3711|3711]] and [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 3712|3712]]. The side-mounted bezel screws remain, though they now form a "sandwich" with the case back rather than attaching to it directly.

The entire [[Patek Philippe Nautilus|Nautilus family]] was replaced by Patek Philippe, with four new models introduced at a [[Geneva]] party held in November of [[2006]] to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the model. Launched that day were the simple [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711|5711/1A]], the [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 5800|mid-sized 5800]], the [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712|5712 Moon Phase]], and the first-ever [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980|Nautilus chronograph, Ref. 5980]]. New to the collection are [[pink gold]] models and the introduction of optional leather straps rather than the traditional integrated bracelet.

This Ref. 5712/1 took over for the [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712|Ref. 5712]] which had been introduced only the year before. The Nautilus remains available in steel, with steel-and-gold and all-gold models also available. The Nautilus 5712 uses Patek Philippe's in-house micro-rotor automatic [[PP 240|Calibre 240 PS IRM C LU]].
