Quick TakeThe Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual Calendar Ref. 5740/1G is a watch that defies expectations. At first glance, the watch seems to be a classic sports watch, a member of the prestigious Nautilus collection known for its bold design and integrated bracelet. However, beneath its sporty exterior lies a heart of pure luxury – a sophisticated perpetual calendar complication that tracks the date, day, month, and even leap years automatically, ensuring flawless timekeeping for years to come. The 5740/1G seamlessly blends sportiness with high horology, making it a perfect choice for the discerning watch aficionado who appreciates both style and substance. The watch is water-resistant to 60 meters, so you can take it from the boardroom to the beach without a worry.

DescriptionThe Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual Calendar Ref. 5740/1G is a self-winding mechanical wristwatch featuring a perpetual calendar complication. The watch is housed in a 40 mm diameter case constructed from white gold. The case measures a mere 8.42 mm in height, making it Patek Philippe’s thinnest perpetual calendar to date. Despite its slim profile, the Nautilus Perpetual Calendar maintains a robust 60-meter water resistance rating. The white gold case features a polished octagonal bezel with horizontally embossed flanks, a signature design element of the Nautilus collection. The case back is composed of sapphire crystal, offering a view of the intricate self-winding movement within.

The Nautilus Perpetual Calendar Ref. 5740/1G is equipped with the caliber 240 Q, an ultra-thin self-winding mechanical movement renowned for its exceptional performance and reliability. The Caliber 240 Q movement is just 3.88 mm thick and is comprised of 275 components, including 8 bridges and 27 jewels. The movement beats at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz) and offers a minimum power reserve of 38 hours, extending to a maximum of 48 hours when fully wound. The Caliber 240 Q is decorated with the Côtes de Genève Geneva stripe embellishment and is further distinguished by its off-center 22K gold mini-rotor, a signature Patek Philippe design feature that enables the movement’s svelte profile.

The dial of the Nautilus Perpetual Calendar Ref. 5740/1G is a mesmerizing blue sunburst with a subtle gradient effect. The applied hour markers are crafted from white gold and are coated with luminescent material for enhanced legibility in low-light conditions. The dial features subdials for the day, date, and month at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, respectively. A discreet leap year indicator is integrated within the month subdial at the 6 o’clock position. The dial also features a moonphase complication at the 12 o’clock position. Complementing the blue dial are white gold hands that are also coated with luminescent material. The Nautilus Perpetual Calendar Ref. 5740/1G is secured to the wrist by a luxurious white gold bracelet. The bracelet features a patented fold-over clasp with a lockable adjustment system, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
