Patek Philippe Nautilus 5740/1G-001 — Perpetual Calendar, 2023
18K White Gold | Blue Sunburst Dial | 40mm | Full Set
The Nautilus that changed the conversation. When Patek Philippe introduced the 5740 in 2018, it gave Gerald Genta's sports icon its first Grand Complication — and did it without adding a millimetre of bulk. At just 8.42mm thick, the 5740/1G remains the thinnest perpetual calendar Patek Philippe has ever made, powered by the self-winding calibre 240 Q with its signature 22K gold micro-rotor, visible through the sapphire caseback.
This 2023 example pairs the brand's horological engineering with everyday wearability: day, date, month, leap-year cycle, moon phase and 24-hour indication, all read cleanly off a horizontally embossed blue sunburst dial with applied white gold batons. The 18K white gold integrated bracelet and octagonal bezel keep the Nautilus DNA intact — this is a watch built to be worn, not just admired.
Why collectors seek out the 5740/1G:
- The only Grand Complication in the Nautilus line — a genuine rarity within an already hard-to-source collection
- One of the thinnest perpetual calendars in watchmaking, at 8.42mm
- Self-winding calibre 240 Q, 275 components, 27 jewels, 48-hour power reserve
- 18K white gold case, dial furniture and bracelet throughout
- Sapphire exhibition caseback showcasing the micro-rotor movement
