*Yes it is still absolutely a chunk o’ change BUT it’s an absolute grail and a masterpiece AND you’ll be hard pressed to find a nicer example for less! A picture is worth 1000 words? Hard agree, especially when talking about the mind-blowing piece of wrist art that is the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712G! Could happily wax poetically about the history of the Nautilus, the incredible Gerald Genta design, etc. etc., but mostly I’ll let the photos do the talking here…that is, after saying with the very recent discontinuation of the 5712 in steel, prices are on the rise, just like we saw with the 5711, so I think this beauty in solid white gold is hard to beat! REFERENCE: 5712G-001 SERIAL NUMBER: 3176XXX DATE: 2008 DIAL: Again, letting the photos do most of the talking, but will say I love the asymmetry paired with the depth of those classic Nautilus horizontal lines - so much packed in, moonphase, power reserve, date - and yet so clean and legible… join me in drooling! CASE: 40MM solid 18K white gold case with only very light wear throughout, presents mint on the rest and feels like a million bucks! At a short 44MM lug to lug distance, and 8.5 MM thin, it has great weight and presence and yet hugs the wrist like nobody’s business! MOVEMENT: The Caliber 240 PS IRM C LU is a movement I could stare at for hours, fortunately with the sapphire case back you can do just that. From the gold micro rotor to the Geneva seal… words, oh words… they fail me! (This beauty was also serviced just five months ago!) FULL MOVEMENT PICS: https://imgur.com/a/Fv09eDG STRAP: Comes on a nearly unworn Patek leather strap complete with original Patek double butterfly 18K white gold deployant clasp. Also comes with four additional aftermarket leather straps with buckles, in their own leather carrying case. ACCESSORIES: Full and complete collector set - double boxed, all booklets, original certificate, serialized hang tag, pin tool for quick setting, everything has been kept from new and will be included! PRICE: *$67,900 which will include overnight fully insured shipping through FedEx anywhere in the US. Face-to-face in the Los Angeles area always possible, with a small discount offered. PAYMENT: Bank Wire only Sale only, no trades thanks No returns unless misrepresented and it absolutely will not be, I am a passionate collector first and foremost and I go out of the way to treat buyers the way I want to be treated and I’m the buyer. Lots of great feedback to show that! TIMESTAMP: https://imgur.com/a/2g4iWwo Follow me here and on IG at thewriteroftime for more cool watches! Thanks! Richard
