A 2021 Patek Philippe Nautilis Perpetual Calendar Ref.5740G-001 in 18k White Gold
For the very first time, in 2018, Patek Philippe released a Nautilus featuring a perpetual calendar. The ref. 5740G is a solid white gold Nautilus measuring 40mm across with a recognizable QP layout on the dial that shows the month, day, date, leap year, moonphase, and 24-hour cycle (like the ref. 3940).
While the complication was new, this watch is a Nautilus through and through – it hasthe classic blue dial with the horizontal ribbing, luminous applied markers and hands, and the mix of brushed and polished finishes that give the watch so much dynamism. Well-balanced, with its signature ribbing, the chameleon-like blue dial changes depending on the lighting condition from a sky blue to a deep navy. It complements the warm gray luster of the case to create an exceptionally well-designed timepiece.
With a lustrous 18K white gold case and bracelet, the caliber 240 Q – Patek's ultra-slim perpetual calendar movement stamped with the Patek Philippe seal – beats within so that the case itself remains a mere 8.42mm, which is even slimmer than the reference 5712.
The watchimmediately captivated the market with its combination of sporty/elegant aesthetics boosted by the incredibly attractive and refined metallic navy/royal blue of the dial and the intrinsic scarcity dictated by the complex movement. Combining all of the above with the practicality of an automatic perpetual calendar –theoretically ensuring no need to set or wind the watch, assuming one always wears it, until the year 2100 –results in what some consider the ultimate Nautilus, an “everyday grail” equally suitable for a charity gala as it is for scuba diving in the Caribbean.
The present example, consigned from the original owner and in superb, rarely worn condition, is found with full accessories including International Guarantee, product literature and box. It's available for immediate purchase from Phillips PERPETUAL for£169,500.
A 2019 Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5712G-001 in 18k White Gold with 'Tiffany & Co.' Signature
The Patek Philippe Nautilus model needs no introduction. In 2006, Patek Philippe celebrated their 30th Anniversary of the belovedmodel with the launch ofa series of new references, including the ref.5711, ref. 5712, and ref.5980.
The ref. 5712G-001 was one of the most complicated Nautilus models offered at the time designed to be a feature-packed wristwatch with sophistication. Encased in white gold, the timepiece displays a smoky gray dial instead of the blue dial featured in the stainless steel model.
“Adding depth and legibility are small details highlighted in red, such as the four dotted power reserve and the first day of the calendar.Offered in a crocodile strap pairing, the ref. 5712G-001 gives collectors a luxurious alternative to the sport model, giving it an elegant twist for the discerning ladies and gentlemen.
Extremely well-preserved in absolutely stunning condition, this reference 5712 cased in 18k white gold, retailed by Tiffany & Co., with dial signatureis furtheraccompanied by its Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin and full set of accessories, including theiconic Tiffany & Co. blue packaging. It's available for immediate purchase from Phillips PERPETUAL for£179,500.
A 2016 Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref.5711/1R-001 in 18k Pink Gold
Introduced in 2006, the Nautilus reference 5711 featured new innovations and updated the historic “Jumbo” model for modern times, with some slight variations between the two models. Instead of the original two-piece monobloc case used for the reference 3700, the 5711 was constructed with a three-piece case that allowed for easier assembly, servicing, and an exhibition caseback. It also measured 1mm wider than the original 3700, and was 0.7mm thicker.
The 5711 was powered by an in-house self-winding movement, the robust caliber 324 SC, which permitted a center seconds indication for the first time. A higher-grade of steel was used for improved corrosion resistance, and the bracelet was upgraded and refined, with the center links slightly flattened and the buckle now triple folding .
Launched at Baselworld in 2015, the reference 5711/1R was the first Nautilus to be cased in pink gold with bracelet. The dial, a rich “chocolate” brown, was also a first for the reference, and has remained a popular pairing for Patek Philippe, with models from the Aquanaut to the Grand Complication reference 6002 receiving this color combination.
Recently discontinued, the ref. 5711/1R has yet to have a successor reference in pink gold made. The present exampleon offer, dated to 2016, ispreserved in superb condition, and isaccompanied by all of its original accessories including International Guarantee and Box. It's available for immediate purchase from Phillips PERPETUAL for£165,000.
