Patek Philippe Nautilus 5740/1G-001 Perpetual Calendar 18Kt White Gold 40mm Blue Index Dial

The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5740/1G-001 stands at the intersection of luxury, engineering finesse, and timeless design. It’s one of the rare moments when a grand complication doesn’t feel overly formal or delicate, thanks to the Nautilus case that gives it a subtle sportiness. You look at it once and immediately sense why collectors chase this reference so relentlessly.

This model comes in 18K white gold, a metal that gives the watch a discreet shine nothing flashy, just the type of refinement that rewards the person who actually wears it. The 40mm case is slim, comfortable, and built around Patek’s ultra-thin perpetual calendar movement, the legendary Caliber 240 Q. You get moon phases, day, date, month, leap year and 24-hour display all arranged beautifully without crowding the dial.

Let’s talk about the dial. The blue sunburst index dial is pure Nautilus DNA: deep, elegant, and changing tone depending on the light. It feels both modern and traditional, the kind of dial that stays interesting every time you check the time, even if you already know what it says.

Another reason collectors love the 5740/1G is how wearable it is. Despite being a grand complication, it’s remarkably thin, making it easy to fit under a cuff or wear casually. The integrated white-gold bracelet completes the look, adding a perfectly balanced weight on the wrist.
