Patek Philippe’s Nautilus 5712 pairs moon phase, power reserve, and date subdials on a single 40mm dial, and this Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712/1R-001 super clone captures that complication trio in a rose gold tone case with a dark brown-black dial. The 5712 reference has long been considered the collector’s alternative to the time-only 5711 because it offers genuine complications without jumping to the size and weight of a chronograph. At 40mm the case diameter matches the classic Nautilus proportion, and the horizontal embossing on the dial surface gives the dark finish a textured appearance that shifts from near-black at the rim to warm brown at the centre depending on lighting angle. The three-subdial layout of the 5712 is explained in our Nautilus guide.

Patek’s genuine caliber 240 is one of the thinnest self-winding movements able to carry these displays. This micro-rotor design is what allows three subdials to coexist on a 40mm canvas without visual crowding.

Reading the 5712/1R Subdials

In the genuine 240 PS IRM C LU the moon display drifts by one day only every 122 years; the clone reproduces the display, so check it against a lunar calendar now and then and correct it if needed. The power reserve indicator near 10 o’clock tracks the mainspring on a graduated arc: our clone Cal. 240 PS IRM C LU stores about 44 hours, against 48 hours for the genuine caliber. Patek uses the micro-rotor 240 family here rather than the full-rotor 26-330 S C of the time-only Nautilus, which keeps the 5712 slim despite the extra displays. See the full Nautilus collection for how the 5712 sits between the time-only models and the chronograph references. For a different complication approach, the fully stone-set 7118/1450R-001 ladies model shows how the Nautilus DNA translates to a smaller case with simpler movement.

Rose Gold Tone With a Dark Dial

The dark brown-black dial on this 5712/1R-001 lets the warm case do the talking and reads quieter than the blue-black dial of the steel version. Moon phase complications appeal to buyers who value astronomical function alongside timekeeping, and the pointer date adds everyday practicality without requiring a magnifying cyclops lens. The three subdials create visual balance that the time-only Nautilus cannot offer, making this variant feel more mechanically alive on the wrist. This Patek Philippe Nautilus replica brings the complication-focused side of the range into a warm rose gold tone case.
