Key Features
Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual Calendar 18K White Gold (Ref. 5740/1G-001) – Full Set
Up for auction is the ultimate grand complication of the Nautilus family and a holy grail of modern watchmaking: The Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual Calendar in solid 18K white gold (Reference 5740/1G-001). As the first grand complication in the Nautilus collection, this masterpiece seamlessly fuses iconic luxury sports design with the peak of haute horlogerie. Featuring an incredibly slim profile and a striking blue sunburst dial, this timepiece represents one of the most exclusive and prestigious watches ever created by Patek Philippe.

- Ultra-Thin Engineering: Despite housing a highly complex perpetual calendar mechanism with 275 individual parts, the case remains astonishingly slim at just 8.42 mm, offering unparalleled comfort and elegance on the wrist.
- Blue Sunburst Dial: Features the iconic horizontally embossed Nautilus dial in a vibrant royal blue sunburst finish, perfectly contrasted by applied 18K white gold hour markers with luminescent coating.
- Micro-Rotor Calibre 240 Q: Powered by Patek Philippe's famous ultra-thin self-winding movement, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, featuring a recessed 22K gold micro-rotor and the prestigious Patek Philippe Seal.
- Solid 18K White Gold Construction: Crafted entirely from solid 18K white gold, providing a subtle, heavy, and ultra-luxurious weight on the wrist while maintaining the classic brushed and polished Nautilus finishes.
