Hands-on: Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712 - Unsporty Sports Watch

Hi Guys,
A watch collector who watches the channel allowed me to explore his amazing watch collection. One piece that really stood out was his Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5712. The Nautilus is a grail watch of mine, this thing is amazing! And craps all over Rolex, but then it is 5-6 times the price!
Let me know what you think.

I like the scrapes and dings on it. Wear it don’t keep it in the box.

[@TT_NY]

BRILLIANT! Love how you’re expanding your talks to include *any* watch and any level. Keep it up...

[@jdstarek]

Fantastic piece. My fav Nautilus.

[@eahmhelmoa]

This was the watch that got me into this expensive hobby. It is really cool looking watch and absolutely beautiful in metal, people who criticize the dial layout need to see it in person before judging. The movement is absolutely amazing and that micro rotor is so charming. The only flaw is the clasp and the bezel being scratch magnet. Thanks for the video

[@kentvonseverin1257]

I had one (gift) and dumped it, its a watch for people of poor taste.

[@blaket2047]

Loving the last couple videos. Like where the direction of the channel is going. Keep using the exposure of the channel to show us some awesome watches! Cheers!

[@sargentmcbadass]

I love this channel. I am happy to hear you are investing in the content and production to get you to that next level.

[@jad19851]

Nice video, thx Adrian! Loving the variety

[@roelstolk3915]

Great vid, you're really advancing in your videography! Thanks for the effort!

[@blaket2047]

This is my favorite nautilis. Mostly for the lack of symmetry. It's quirky and different, but it's not boring, and that's why I love it. Now granted this might be one that I admire from afar and if I ever get a hold of it in the metal, it may change my mind. But for now.... Ill keep dreaming, and love it.

[@LondonLex]

Great video...this watch is a real grower...the asymmetrical-ness of it is a strange grower too!!! I really enjoy taking time out to share in your enthusiasm too...oh and great macro work sir! 🤓

[@jarodstevens2710]

Outstanding video Adrian as usual man definitely one of my top three channels and my favorite NATO's

[@ubaydahghaznawi3571]

Love your videos mate, makes me smile every time you explain its an independent channel, not sponsored etc lol. Love the genuiness.

[@targaflorio3239]

Great video and production values. Great to have this sort of channel as a point of difference. Nice one.

[@GrantMLang]

My grandfathers two watch collection consists of the 5712 and the 5712r. Absolutely insane watches.

[@ajdhill]

On my last trip to London on the train, a guy got on at Stockport and sat across the aisle from me. I noticed his Nautilus and said he had a nice watch. He took it off and handed it to me to check out, it turned out to be a forty year anniversary 5976/1G in platinum with diamonds as hour markers. It put my Daytona 116520 to shame. Patek owners seem to be very nice, approachable people.

[@ajdhill]

Sorry, it wasn't platinum but white gold. It felt as heavy as Platinum.

[@bigc208]

The reason they can be approachable is that only another watch enthusiast would recognize his watch. A sport Rolex is much more recognizable and easier to fence by criminals so the Rolex owner has to be a bit more careful.

[@ritinsharma5330]

I’m the guy sitting next to you guys watching you both in amazement and envy! 😕

[@jassechan]

If someone notices my watch and compliments me, I almost always ask if they would like to check it out! I'm glad to hear that others are like that too.

[@MohammadAWaly]

I love it! Amazing piece, the nautilus is also a grail of mine, but I’m shooting for the annual calendar

[@davidb5720]

Wow, what a contrast from the last vid! Loving it and why this channel is the best. What a watch and who wouldn’t want one if money was no object 😍

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks a lot David. Glad you liked the video. 👍🏻

[@davidb5720]

Bark and Jack, you definitely made the correct decision to do this full time! You show the rest of you tube how it should be done

[@brucetheshark266]

Beautiful watch.... the 5712 is one of my favorites!

[@wolfdna788]

Awesome video I just fell in love a little bit with a watch that is unattainable

[@damachine3]

I absolutely love the 5712 and my dealer said that it's highly likely that mine will arrive sometime this summer. Can't wait!

[@condal32]

Spot focus Ad, well done! Love this vid, by the way.

[@Brizzy-ul3gy]

Some great shots and great review ! Well done 👍

[@sanderdegroot6227]

This video is zo well-paced, just very very neat!

[@daveholloway8780]

Love the way you compare watches to cars...it’s the only way I can relate to brands and especially brands. This is definitely the Wraith of watches!

[@saevans63]

Beautiful watch. Would love one

[@titor8017]

This is a very very nice watch. A sports watch that would play position of coach instead of player. And we know how important the coach is. Great video

[@cbsection8]

Best watch channel on KZbin.

[@suitedandbooted363]

Amazing Watch. That is all....... Oh and as always great video 👌

[@martinnewton1984]

Thanks for the review....I have owned a 5712 for just over 5 years. Awesome piece and I wholeheartedly agree with your comments other than those on the clasp. Delicate....yes, weak....hell no!! Of all my watch collection...APs FPJs, Rolex, Blancpain and VC, the finish on my nautilus has stood up better to scratches than all the rest (bar the bathyscaphe ceramic). Nice to see the 5712 getting some love.

[@devinamari9786]

I realize it's kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to stream new movies online ?

[@eddierylan2647]

@Devin Amari ehh I watch on Flixportal. just google for it :P -eddie

[@devinamari9786]

@Eddie Rylan Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!

[@eddierylan2647]

@Devin Amari Glad I could help :D

[@christophercode3316]

A man and his watch.....a cracking read(look)Adrian, Keep up the good work 👍

[@ahenryrose]

interesting to hear your thoughts. agree with almost all!

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

Love the content!! You review everything. Like myself you like them all. Lol. That’s what’s so cool bout your channel.

[@gratefulot360]

The movement is extraordinary! Maybe I would have to see the watch in person to appreciate it's design because on-screen it appears visually dissonant. Excellent review!

[@AliasHSW]

Saw one in the wild. It’s gorgeous

[@terryfranks7521]

Very cool my all time favourite

[@BangkokMuttley]

Great video.

[@chowychow]

After owning both the 5712 and 5711. Your comments on the dial being disorganised is really true thou. In contrast the 5711 be it white or blue dial the symmetry of the 5711 is perfect.

[@jeanlefranc3817]

Never been a Genta design fan, irrespective of the brand. But the video is, as usual, the best spent 15 minutes this morning.

[@d.wilkins3976]

Patek 5711 is also my grail watch. I have debated with myself if the price point is truly justified. Ultimately, I reached the conclusion if I can afford a $30k+ watch then I deserve to treat myself to the finer things lol. Also, I really like how this hands-on session was filmed with the lighting and blacked out background to focus only on the watch.

[@DavidMoore-lz4bh]

Great video Adrian, a Nautilus would be my Grail watch don't think I could justify the cost .

[@marcengesser2417]

Love the channel

[@gilliebrand]

5711, yes indeed, a classic.

[@davidrobinson4848]

Good one.

[@benwong1111]

Great detailed review once again. They moved on from Geneve seal because they feel some “lower” quality watches like Cartier was able to attain the seal. And they don’t want to be accompanied by Cartier. Omega Meta is 0/+4 i think, not -2/+2. Regarding the clasp, they don’t have that much choice to be honest. Maybe other option would be push button butterfly clasp but that would be harder to make it this thin and elegance. The ball bearing is very hard to open on my dad’s example too. So it’s not feel like coming off. It’s even annoyingly tight that my dad always complain when he wear it on special occasions. (It’s 5711R though, not sure if the steel clasp are this tight too)

[@nicholasevennett8231]

That strap is so long, does your friend wear it on his leg?

[@redpross1]

Brilliant as always Adrian...... how’s the next watch search coming along?

[@mccstuff]

I agree with you the blue dial (5711?) is gorgeous and would be the first watch I'd buy if I won the lottery.

[@rhpmpp]

insane watch...

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

Nice one, Adrian. While I’m admittedly not the world’s biggest Nautilus fan, this 5712 piques my interest far greater than the standard 5711. You have to love a Complications Patek Philippe in a modern sporty suit (I consider the Nautilus to be sporty dress watch, rather than a sports watch).

[@hln2235]

5712 looks so f*cking good. Congrats.

[@mikebarnard5339]

Another high quality vid. Thanks for all the effort.

[@BarkandJack]

Mike B thanks for watching Mike. 👍🏻

[@lexxb6386]

It's one of the most universal watches but for that price point I could buy 3 beautiful watches to meet all of my necessities. Great vid...

[@robc8892]

Great vid. Rare watch that I'd not buy my self but still interesting. Car vise I'd say it's more pagani zonda

[@miheisso]

Adrian, great vid as always. Please do the same thing with the Overseas to see what one loses in terms of value, design etc. Hard to see the PP being worth sooooo much more.

[@petemorbius3936]

nice review

[@guillermorodriguez3509]

Aside the bremmont vs patek controversy damn I love this channel

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks so much Guillermo. 👍🏻

[@meson183]

Hand made and hand finished by astonishingly skilled people. That's not cheap. There's a lot of time and effort in watches at this level. And that's where the price comes from. It's different than Omega and Rolex who give more of the manufacture over to automated processes.

[@thesultan57badger]

I have tried this watch on a couple of times and agree with you on 1) feels so light & delicate which I dislike 2) the clasp is so difficult to open it feels like I will break it or rip my nail off lol. I much prefer Rolex super case & satisfying click of the oyster clasp. Saying that... I would give my right arm for a 5711 white dial!

[@amcluesent]

I got a lovely 5711 off DHGate

[@Jeremy-gi6ml]

Someone mentioned in a video somewhere that Patek did away with the Geneva seal when Cartier started using it to.

[@frankk8775]

It truly is incredible looking wrist art! I would love to own one myself, nice to dream though. You can get it without waiting, pre-owned for two to three plus times the suggested retail price! Depending on the model! Crazy isn't it?

[@drwindsurf]

I have never really liked Gerald Genta designs but seeing it up close through your lens it is beautiful. Thank you Adrian :)

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks for watching Jeffrey.

[@philipsdefreville6138]

Adrian, I liked your injection of being down-to-earth i.e. snobbery and your point about PP approval.

[@therealkiasu]

This is a really awesome watch. I like the 5712 more than the 5711. The Nautilus design was unpopular and deemed ugly back then and now it is selling for double the retail. Crazy..

[@tonyboswell5414]

You have to admire the engineering

[@hishamhabib666]

Great vid Adrian!👍🏻

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks Hisham, always a pleasure having you here.

[@DonLee1980]

I have the 5726 1A, where the size and bracelet feels much more sturdy and sporty.

[@tim462]

Great content! I‘m relatively new to watches (24yrs old), but in future I‘d like to buy an Tudor BB58...love that watch! Greetings from Germany 🤙🏼😄

[@asiandatu]

Ka Neu would love to own one.. such a flawless watch!

[@steelstunners1862]

BB58' is beautiful, the finishing is almost on par with a Rolex and versatile enough to wear with almost anything!

[@tim462]

Yeah I think so, too...goes also well with a suit or more casual 👍🏼

[@Tal-wb9jn]

The BB58 would be a great choice!!

[@dpw1989]

Tudor is a solid watch.

[@ryanaston4367]

Hey Adrian. Thoroughly enjoying the channel sir. After watching this video it got me thinking about the virtues of having several nice pieces against one absolute banger! I'd love to hear your thoughts on this? A subject worthy of a video perhaps? Anyway keep up the great work, Ryan.

[@abusiddiquekashmir3541]

U r great person with beautiful mind..

[@westleygreenhalf2338]

I'm not so keen on these watches and that is in part due to the way they have to be acquired. You rarely hear owners talking about watches. It tends to be more a game of letting people know whether you are a) rich enough to get it at retail or b) rich enough to pay the crazy mark ups. Assuming the money was available, it would be better to go for a beautiful dressier piece along side a solid sports watch that can be used for sporty endeavours. But, if showing off is the vibe, then this is one of the hot watches to have.

[@Zblass]

Curious how you would feel about the aquanaut and the security of the clasp on the rubber b. I also agree the 5711 is the cleaner model (i.e no date vs cyclops)

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

Gorgeous macro video!

[@BarkandJack]

Hey Marc, glad you liked the macro shots. It’s a pleasure to have you watching.

[@watchmedicine7747]

I like the symmetry on the dial and feel this is a bit busy ...Wearing a 5711 feels like butter and the dial is cleaner...Also the annual calendar is nice ...Your quality of video is great

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks Watch Doctor. I bet the 5711 feels great.

[@watchmedicine7747]

@@BarkandJack There has to be some chaps in London who would have a 5711 for u to borrow...Orherwise come over to the US of A :)...Anyway the thinness of the watch makes it light on the wrist unlike any Rolex as u probably felt...The clasp leaves something to desire for but when it closes the bracelet looks uniform...I have the white dial which I like because it's more legible

[@francorui2493]

If add to choose from this two whish one would you take and why ? Please Patek 5712 Rolex Daytona green

[@leeharding8306]

It’s a dress sports watch like a submariner is a dress diver. Amazing movement and that’s where the moneys gone. The service schedules are a surprise. I suppose if you can afford one it’s the least of your worries. The new breed of omega movements have a 10 year service schedule and they feel bomb proof. I’m looking forward to seeing his other stuff. Was the owner pleased with it? I think Patek is about as good as it gets before you go into 100k plus money although if I had the cash a Royal Oak would be tempting. Great review thanks 🙏

[@paul.cookie]

Hi Adrian, wanna ask you a nerdy question. Do you align minute hand on your watch to position witch is corresponds to minute marker and seconds hand to zero position or you just skip this 'little things' and align it roughly?

[@markplayford5836]

I agree with you mate, just too much clutter on the dial much prefer the blue 3 hander. Never really appreciated how nice they were till now. Have to say though ‘Sports’ my arse, its a dress watch that looks a bit sporty as it’s on a bracelet. 30k is pure madness for any wristwatch incidentally! Have to commend you on the quality of the photography and video Adrian, whatever you bought it was all worth it. 👌

[@allthestroke88]

Great video. I'd love more of these personal reviews of watches we don't see everyday. Hopefully more viewers open up their collections. Why haven't you people subscribed yet?

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks a lot Darryl. Glad you liked it. More videos like this will be coming very soon. 👍🏻

[@napilut]

I know this video is a bit old but I’m just enjoying going through your videos as I just entered into the watch world a few months ago and discovered your channel. You mentioned that the PP stamp/seal shouldn’t be there as it isn’t necessary. Patek logo is already there and Patek wouldn’t sell a watch with a movement that doesn’t comply with their standards. However, is it not the same as the superlative label on all Rolex dials? I think they’re doing it (as Rolex is too) to differentiate the old movements from Patek/Rolex that didn’t comply with Patek/Rolex current standards. I’m just starting to get into watches but it feels it could be a good reason for the PP stamp/seal. BTW: love your channel and how you communicate your passion and information about watches. Thank you. Sorry for my English, I’m still learning.

[@vaughanatkinson8421]

It's a Patek...hell yes we would all buy it, at the retail price....but at the pre-owned price??

[@scottallan3327]

Love the watch always love Patek but I've got an 8 and a quarter inch wrist looks like a little tiny toy on my wrist

[@SaifiZafi]

Is that LWC's watch?

[@fire_watch7735]

Great video. I just one have one comment; Omega Metas certification is +5/0 seconds a day. Cheers

[@MrMrminecraft1231000]

Hey, Adrian! Really starting to enjoy your videos and the content on your website! I was wondering if you ever plan on releasing any leather straps on your shop. I recently bought a TAG Heuer Carrera 5 for my birthday and was considering switching to a leather strap. If you ever do release a leather strap I'd almost certainly buy one, I'd love to support the channel. Thanks for the videos!

[@BarkandJack]

Hey Gabriel, thanks a lot I’m glad you like the content. I will have leather straps in a couple of months. 👍🏻

[@mathieuvaillancourt3219]

Does the bracelet have push pin or small screws?

[@mikec3454]

I don’t know, the Nautilus line doesn’t do much for me, call me crazy. Patek make some drool worthy dress watches, simply timeless and hits all the marks on what a dress watch should look like. Glad to see this watch is being worn and not stored in a safe. PS - interesting comparison on the Cal 3000 vs. this Patek’s Cal 240. I have to ask though, could you throw the Patek against a wall like your Rolex and it still run? I’d put my money on the Rolex taking more of a beating and still keep fantastic time.

[@Andrewolf79]

Grate Video as always and I love this watch its one of my 3 dream watch, one day.. one day... lol... a true everyday every occasion any outfit watch I agree the display is some how odd and if I hat to chose it would be the 5726 hands down for display balance, maybe in 10 years time depending where I am.. I'll sell my whole collection for one of these. Only contender to this watch would be a Vacheron 4300V/120G B102 or the A.Lange & Sohne Zeitwer Striking 145.029. I also have to say that like any passionate person I saw evolving in to the watch collection world the true collectors become more interested in the history and workings of time peaces than living off the status that some of these make apparently give you. Snobbery exist anywhere loads of money is involved and can be a good thing, is a learning curve on how to select and evaluate products so you become more judgemental on what gets sold at what price point, as long it's not offensive to who can only afford a timex, a Casio, a Longines, an Omega a Rolex and so forth it maintains a separation between levels of prestige. There will always be someone out there with more money, but everyone can achieve better taste and knowledge and from those we can learn.

[@eco8gator]

When your a Rich Phucker this is as sporty as you need. The 5712 is a fantastic sports watch!

[@pizza.doctor]

Power reserve is balanced by the small seconds, moonphase and date are balanced by the logo text - it is not entirely disorganised

[@BarkandJack]

I hadn’t noticed that. Well spotted.

[@Gaming.Labs_GL]

How do we "charge" or "recalibrate" the Power Reserve?

[@sumofall3991]

Great video Adrian. Thanks for not being an obnoxious Australian😉

[@BarkandJack]

Haha. Thanks for watching buddy. 🍻

[@amundbjerve]

For that money, you could get both an Explorer I and a Calatrava, which I think would be the better option.

[@jet-settingrogue761]

I like it. I think if you have the money, why not? However like you said you would still have to contend with the waiting list and if I had the money I wouldn't pay above list for a new watch.

[@theonlyredspecial]

Has to be the annual calendar 5205 for me. But nice watch
