  • Catalogue Essay

    The reference 5726 was launched in 2010 and was originally only available in stainless steel with a leather strap. Patek Philippe began production of a new version with grey dial and stainless steel bracelet in 2012. The present watch displaying a grey dial is an early variant, which is now discontinued. The annual calendar, along with the 24 hour display contributes to the simplicity of the design, and yet demonstrates the complexity of the movement. This Nautilus reference is a perfectly well-balanced design, sport-chic wristwatch for any gentleman.

    This example is preserved in an overall excellent condition and is accompanied by all original accessories, including the Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated June 27, 2012, setting pin, product literature, leather wallet, presentation box and outer packaging.

  • Artist Biography

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
