At the engagement party that Tamara Falcó and her fiancé, Ãñigo Onieva, celebrated at Isabel Preysler’s house (as tradition dictates, that moment must take place at the bride’s house), the watch that the groom proudly showed caught attention. It is not for less. It is a Nautilus 5712/1A from the Swiss manufacturer Patek Philippe that is not available to everyone. And not just for the price.
The fact is that it is a persecuted watch. The waiting list for this type of piece, especially if we are talking about a Nautilus (a true icon not only for Patek Philippe, but also in the world of fine watchmaking) is more than guaranteed. This Nautilus 5712/1A is a watch with complications, this means that beyond the hour and minutes, this piece with a mechanical movement with automatic winding, has the functions of moon phases, power reserve indication and a small seconds hand. that stand out against the elegant midnight blue dial. The bracelet, as well as the case, are made of steel and the caseback is made of sapphire glass.
Patek Philippe, a world-renowned manufacture with nearly 200 years of history, has long led the fine watchmaking industry by setting new patents and standards for technology and innovation.
Among its iconic pieces, the Nautilus stands out, which has become a true object of desire for lovers of the brand and collectors. It is an octagonal case watch inspired by the ship’s hatch and the handcrafted finishes that connoisseurs and many elite footballers have fallen in love with. Without going any further, in the last World Cup many Nautilus were seen on the wrist of the greatest.
The history of this watch with character dates back to 1976. Then it surprised by its sporty character, its steel case and those complications that are so difficult to manage in a wristwatch with an ultra-thin thickness.
This variant in steel with a blue dial that Iñigo Onieva wore at the engagement party enhances the purely sporty design of this Nautilus whose dimensions make it ideal for both women and men. So I wouldn’t be surprised if this Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712/1A-001 Lunar Phase would one day appear on Tamara Falcó’s wrist.
The price? From 50,850 euros. But it remains to be achieved. The wait, to get a Patek Philippe, and even more so with a Nautilus, is assured. Yes indeed. It is a jewel that, like all watches from this manufacture, never loses value.
