Patek Philippe

Ref. 5726/1A-010

Nautilus

A highly rare and attractive stainless steel annual calendar wristwatch with bracelet, center seconds, moon phases, 24-hour indication, Certificate of Origin and presentation box

- When Patek Philippe introduced their novel annual calendar in 1996, the ingenious yet simple mechanism needing but one adjustment per year proved both useful and enduring. This patented innovation blossomed into an expansive collection, augmenting the house's technical finesse and design mastery.

- In 2010, their brilliance continued with the Nautilus ref. 5726, its sleek grey visage housing the self-winding cal. 324. Two years later came another first for the storied model, a striking white dial contrasted with bold black surrounds marker and bracelet pairing. With the discontinuation of these forerunners in 2019, Patek Philippe launched a third iteration in blue, already deemed a cult classic and still in their current catalogue.

- The present ref. 5726 in the scarce white dial is offered in excellent condition. This example further comes complete with Certificate of Origin and accessories.
