Patek Philippe 5712 Nautilus Super Clone Replica

The Patek Philippe 5712 is in a separate category within the Nautilus range, and once you know what features to look for, it becomes clear why collectors regard it as one of the most desirable models. Aside from the moon phase, the power reserve indicator, and the small seconds sub-dial, this is not simply another Nautilus with the traditional horizontally embossed dial. This super clone model includes all of these extra features and is designed for those who want more than just the familiar case shape.

To get the 5712 case right you have to get right the rounded octagonal bezel with the screws showing, the brushed sides, and the way the case meets the integrated bracelet without there being a hard seam. This version uses the correct 40mm stainless steel case, with the horizontal brushing and the polished bevels aligning properly in the light, showing no soft or blurred transitions as you find on the lower grade clones. Since the caseback is also a display back, the finish extends right through rather than ending at the dial.

It is in this feature that the 5712 distinguishes itself from a regular Nautilus and it is also the area in which most factories fail when making a replica. As one would expect, there is the embossed horizontal dial pattern, together with a moon phase display at 6 o’clock, a power reserve indicator at the top, and a small seconds sub-dial, all arranged with the same proportions and printing quality as the original. The moon phase disc itself has the proper star and moon details instead of using a generic blank disc, which is normally the first sign that a cheaper version is being produced.

The bracelet on the 5712 adopts the same integrated design approach as the other models in the Nautilus family, gradually thinning from the case to a folding clasp which closes firmly with no looseness. Instead of using hollow stamped links, it employs solid steel, which gives the watch the same weight and wrist feel as the genuine article. Together with its precise case thickness, this results in the bracelet sitting low and in balance rather than making it feel top-heavy or too large.

If you’ve been waiting for a Patek Philippe 5712 replica that actually has the complications working rather than merely copying the dial pattern, then this excellent imitation is well worth considering. The moon phase, power reserve, and small seconds all combine to provide you with the same multi-layered dial experience which the genuine article is renowned for, but at a much lower cost and with considerably less waiting time.
