Offered 'full set' and in excellent overall condition, the present Patek Philippe Nautilus reference 5740 is a highly prized, stealthy, and impressive sporty timepiece to wear for any occasion.
Reference 5740/1G-001
The white gold Nautilus Perpetual Calendar reference 5740/1G was the first ‘Grand Complication’ to be introduced to the Nautilus collection. Combining the sporting appeal of the Nautilus model with the technical sophistication of a perpetual calendar, many collectors consider this model to be the ultimate modern classic.
The reference 5740/1G Nautilus Perpetual Calendar is a fascinating creation with recognizable ancestry from not only the Nautilus model itself, but in using the famous ultra-thin automatic caliber 240 Q movement, connecting the watch to some of the great perpetual calendar watches of the past, such as the reference 3940. The layout of the classic blue Nautilus dial with horizontal ribbing and applied luminous white gold indexes and hands, is also a familiar Patek Philippe design classic. Combined with the month, day, date, leap year and 24-hour indication with moon phases, many argue it is the perfect package. The solid white gold 40 mm. case is perfectly sized, neither too big or too small and features the distinct brushed and high-polished finishes that make it play in the light across the surfaces. This model is completed by the solid 18k white gold bracelet and modern double deployant clasp.
