A word from the appraiser

The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5740/1G-001 is the flagship model that introduced the perpetual calendar complication to the Nautilus collection for the very first time. Combining the sporty yet elegant aesthetic of the Nautilus with the sophistication of a Grand Complication, it stands as one of the finest examples of the modern luxury sports watch.

Crafted entirely in 18K white gold, the 40 mm case is distinguished by the signature porthole-shaped bezel and a refined interplay of satin-brushed and polished finishes, hallmarks of the Nautilus design.

The blue sunburst dial reveals a dynamic spectrum of tones under varying light, while three subdials elegantly present the date, day, month, leap-year cycle, and moon phases. Despite its mechanical complexity, the display remains harmonious and highly legible.

At its heart beats the ultra-thin self-winding Caliber 240 Q, equipped with a micro-rotor, allowing the case to maintain an impressively slim profile of just 8.42 mm. This ensures not only horological excellence but also exceptional comfort for daily wear.

Uniting the sporty spirit of the Nautilus with the mechanical artistry of the perpetual calendar, the 5740/1G-001 embodies Patek Philippe’s unique vision of innovation, elegance, and timeless craftsmanship.
