As the first Grande Complication in the Nautilus collection, the Nautilus reference 5740 with perpetual calendar represents a unique combination of sportiness and supreme watchmaking. Thanks to its famous extra-thin 240 Q calibre self-winding movement, the case remains exceptionally slim, making the watch Patek Philippes' slimmest perpetual calendar.
The 40 mm case is made of 18 K white gold with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The dial has an elegant dark blue colour with the embossed horizontal logo inspired by the typical Nautilus design. Indexes and hands carry a coat of luminous material for better readability in low light conditions. The Nautilus Reference 5740 has a 48-hour power reserve and includes a variety of features such as a perpetual calendar, a moon phase display as well as a 24-hour display.
Overall, the Patek Philippe Reference 5740 Nautilus is a remarkable wristwatch that impresses with its high-quality materials, modern design and numerous functions. It is perfect for both everyday use and special occasions.
