Patek Philippe 5740/1G-001

Nautilus Perpetual Calendar

Friday, 14 December 2018

Ultra-thin Cal. 240 Q inside a Nautilus case, on white gold bracelet. At 8.42mm, the 5740/1G is impossibly thin for a perpetual calendar — and that thinness is the whole point. It's where the sports case and the grand complication movement prove they were always meant for each other.

Collector's Note

The thinnest perpetual calendar in the Nautilus case, white gold on bracelet, with the ultra-thin Cal. 240 Q. The 5740 is where Nautilus collecting graduates from 'sports watch with status' to 'haute horlogerie that happens to swim.' It's arguably the most important Nautilus complication reference in the current catalogue.
