  • Catalogue Essay

    First released in 2010, the Patek Philippe ref. 5726 was the first Nautilus reference to feature the firm’s signature annual calendar complication, which was first introduced in 1996 via the ref. 5035. Developed by Laurent Junod, technical director at Patek Philippe, the annual calendar only requires the wearer to adjust the calendar indications only once per year between February 28th or 29th and March 1st.

    Initially released in stainless steel with a grey dial and fitted with a leather strap, the perfectly symmetrical dial layout was quickly appreciated by collectors and in 2012, Patek Philippe released an example with a white dial. With both variants discontinued, Patek Philippe released the ref. 5726/1A-014 featuring a blue dial and a bracelet in 2019.

    Fresh to the market, the present example Patek Philippe ref. 5726/1A-014 from circa 2020 is offered with its Certificate of Origin and fitted presentation box with very minimal signs of use and wear.
