Patek Philippe Extra-Thin Nautilus Grand Complications Perpetual Calendar 40mm 5740/1G Blue Dial
The Ultimate Expression of Luxury and Haute Horlogerie
The Patek Philippe Extra-Thin Nautilus Grand Complications Perpetual Calendar 40mm 5740/1G Blue Dial represents the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking, combining the iconic Nautilus design with one of horology’s most prestigious complications. Introduced as the first Grand Complication in the Nautilus collection, the reference 5740/1G-001 seamlessly blends sporty elegance with extraordinary mechanical sophistication. Despite housing a perpetual calendar movement, the watch maintains an incredibly slim profile, making it one of the thinnest perpetual calendar watches ever produced by Patek Philippe.
Crafted from 18K white gold, the 40mm case is paired with a stunning sunburst blue dial featuring the Nautilus’ signature horizontally embossed pattern. White gold applied baton hour markers and luminous hands ensure exceptional readability while preserving the collection’s timeless aesthetic.
Extraordinary Perpetual Calendar Functionality
Powered by the ultra-thin Patek Philippe Caliber 240 Q, this self-winding mechanical movement automatically displays the day, date, month, leap year, 24-hour indication, and moon phases, accurately accounting for varying month lengths and leap years without manual adjustment until the year 2100, provided the watch remains running. The movement is only 3.88mm thick, allowing the entire watch to maintain its remarkably slim 8.42mm case thickness.
Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the beautifully finished movement features a 22K gold off-center micro-rotor, showcasing Patek Philippe’s legendary attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Iconic Nautilus Design
The instantly recognizable rounded-octagonal bezel and integrated white gold bracelet define the Nautilus collection. Every surface is meticulously hand-finished with alternating polished and satin-brushed textures, creating a sophisticated appearance from every angle.
The integrated white gold bracelet offers exceptional comfort and is equipped with Patek Philippe’s patented fold-over clasp featuring a lockable adjustment system for a secure and refined fit.
