In 2018, Patek Philippe took the collecting world by storm with the unveiling of the instantly legendary reference 5740. Made exclusively in a 40 mm white gold case, accompanied by a matching white gold bracelet and a sapphire crystal case back, this model marked a historic milestone as the first perpetual calendar Nautilus. Distinguished by its captivating dial, made with a new shade of blue with pristine white printing, the reference 5740 exudes unparalleled elegance among its Nautilus counterparts.
Powering this piece is the esteemed Caliber 240 Q movement, derived from the ultra-thin automatic Caliber 240. This choice of movement aligns seamlessly with the Nautilus's original design ethos of slimness, as evidenced by its 8.32mm size - making the reference 5740 one of the manufacturer's thinnest perpetual calendars.
Acquired in 2020, we are delighted to present this exceptional timepiece from the collection of its original owner, impeccably preserved and accompanied by its complete suite of accessories.
