Patek Philippe Nautilus 5726A-001

The brainchild of legendary watch designer Gerald Genta, the Nautilus was introduced in 1976 to compete with Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak, another now-iconic Genta-designed steel sports watch launched a few years earlier. Its case shape, with ear-like projections either side, was like nothing the industry had seen before and despite not being an immediate hit it’s now one of the most sought-after Patek models around. The reference 5726A-001 is an annual calendar, displayed via adjacent apertures below 12 o’clock for the day and month, and the date at 6 o’clock. A moonphase display is set within a 24-hour subdial that tracks a second time zone. All steel, with a horizontally embossed gradient grey dial and white gold applied hour markers, it’s a triumph of simplicity that exudes high-end luxury. It’s powered by the automatic Caliber 324 S QA LU 24H/303 which holds a power reserve of 45 hours and is visible through the exhibition caseback, revealing the beautifully decorated 21k gold rotor within.
