Patek Philippe Follow Ref. 3712/1A-001 A fine and rare stainless steel wristwatch with date, moon phase, power reserve and bracelet, with certificate of origin, paperwork, and box 2005 42mm Diameter Case, dial, movement, and bracelet signed.
Manufacturer: Patek Philippe Year: 2005 Reference No: 3712/1A-001 Movement No: 3'170'479 Case No: 4'330'059 Model Name: Nautilus Material: Stainless steel Calibre: Automatic, cal. 240, 29 jewels Bracelet/Strap: Stainless steel Patek Philippe Nautilus integrated bracelet Clasp/Buckle: Stainless steel Patek Philippe hidden clasp Dimensions: 42mm Diameter Signed: Case, dial, movement, and bracelet signed. Accessories: Accompanied by Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin, product literature, and presentation box. Further accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present lot in 2005 and its subsequent sale on August 30th, 2005. Catalogue Essay Patek Philippe introduced reference 3712/1A in 2005, and it remained in production for approximately one year – some estimate as few as eight months. Its successor, the much-coveted reference 5712/1, was launched in October of 2006 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus, alongside the references 5712R (the first Nautilus to be offered on a leather bracelet), 5800/1, 5980/1, and the highly successful 5711/1. Originally designed by world renowned Gerald Genta, the first of the Nautilus family was presented in 1976. Reference 3712/1A was at the time of its launch, the most complicated version of the Nautilus made by Patek Philippe, which had previously only indicated the date. The letters following the official name of the self-winding caliber 240 – PS IRM C LU – stand for "petite second" (small seconds), "indication de réserve de marche" (power reserve), "calandrier" (date), and "lune" (moon), all of which are present on the 3712 in an idiosyncratic but somehow harmonious arrangement. At first glance, the 3712 appears quite similar to its successor, the 5712, but there are many noteworthy differences when the watches' details are examined. Most notably, the 3712 has a slightly smaller case measuring 42 mm in diameter as it is constructed using only two pieces compared with the more rounded, three piece, 43mm case of the 5712. The dial of the reference 3712 features wider grooves, or channels, and different hour markers than its successor. A particularly subtle but well-studied detail is the presence of just three red dots on the power reserve indicator, versus four dots on the 5712, to indicate a low remaining power reserve. With its extremely short production period, the reference 3712 is amongst the rarest of all variants of the Nautilus, making it extremely sought after. The present example appears to have never been worn, and is offered in pristine, close to new condition complete with all of its original accessories, certificate, and hang tag – making it a superb example for the connoisseur.
