Since its origin, Patek Philippe's Nautilus family has become one of the most recognisable and coveted time pieces. Although the model is commonly associated with the durability of stainless steel, Patek Philippe introduced versions of the Nautilus in precious metals and two-tone finishes over the years.
In 2018, Patek Philippe caused a stir in the collecting world with the release of the highly acclaimed reference 5740, the first-ever perpetual calendar Nautilus. This watch is made of solid 18k white gold and features a stunning dial with a new shade of blue and white printing. The perpetual calendar, one of Patek Philippe's signature grand complications, is a highly praised feature. Due to its exclusivity, the reference 5740 is extremely challenging to obtain and is only sold to Patek Philippe's most loyal clients.
