  • Catalogue Essay

    A grand debut in 2018 at Baselworld, Patek Philippe unveiled the firm's first Nautilus with a perpetual calendar function, the ref. 5740/1G-001. One of the thinnest perpetual calendar produced by the manufacture – fitted into a white gold case is the self-winding cal. 240 Q, which is visible through the sapphire caseback, where one can see the recessed 22k gold micro-rotor engraved with the firm's Calatrava cross emblem and a côtes de Genève finished to the movement.

    The classic sunburst blue dial with the horizontal ribbing embodies the perfect layout and configuration of the three subsidiary dials of the perpetual calendar executed in a well-balanced manner. A touch of red indicating the 1st day of the month further adds to the sporty elegance of this reference. Fresh-to-the-market and presented in stunning overall condition, the present example is accompanied by its full set of accessories.
