  • Catalogue Essay

    Being the first Patek Philippe Nautilus reference to feature an annual calendar complication, the firm released the ref. 5726 in 2010 featuring a stainless steel case, an ashen grey ribbed dial and paired with a crocodile strap. The firm released an example fitted with a 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.

    Offered in well-preserved overall condition with extremely minimal signs of use and wear, the present Patek Philippe Nautilus from circa 2011 is complete with its full set of accessories. Fresh-to-the-market, this ref. 5726A-001 is the 39th example to be identified and offers a fantastic opportunity for collectors to acquire a nice specimen of the now discontinued reference.

    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.

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.
