This replica Nautilus 5712G0 blue pairs the 5712G-001 reference with a baguette-cut diamond bezel, adding a jewelry dimension to what is already one of the most popular Nautilus complications. The 40mm white gold case houses moon phase, power reserve, and date subdials beneath a dark blue horizontally embossed dial. Baguette-set bezels on Nautilus references remain rare, making this a piece that stands out even within the broader collection.

Technical Overview

• Case diameter: 40mm
• Case material: white gold
• Bezel: baguette-cut diamonds
• Dial: dark blue with horizontal embossing
• Crystal: sapphire
• Movement: automatic with moon phase
• Functions: hours, minutes, moon phase, power reserve indicator, date

The baguette diamonds follow the octagonal bezel shape, with each stone cut to fit the contour rather than using uniform round brilliants. This requires precise stone selection and setting, as baguette cuts reveal inclusions more readily than rounds.

Inside the Movement

The 5712 uses the ultra-thin 240 PS IRM C LU caliber in genuine form, an automatic movement with micro-rotor winding. Three subdials display moon phase at 7 o’clock, date at 4 o’clock, and power reserve at 10 o’clock. This triple-subdial layout distinguishes the 5712 visually from every other Nautilus reference. The Nautilus collection includes several moon phase variants, but none combine that complication with a baguette diamond bezel the way this G-suffix reference does. For a related moon phase Nautilus in warmer metal, the 5712R-001 in rose gold with black dial offers an alternative palette with a round diamond bezel instead of baguettes.

What Sets It Apart

Standard 5712G-001 references come without the baguette bezel, so this variant occupies a higher tier within the same reference family. The dark blue dial works well against white gold and diamond elements because it provides depth without competing with the bezel sparkle. For anyone seeking a Nautilus moonphase replica that doubles as a jewelry piece, this replica Nautilus 5712G0 blue in the baguette configuration delivers that dual identity at 40mm.
