  • Catalogue Essay

    Being the first Patek Philippe Nautilus reference to feature an annual calendar complication, the firm released the ref. 5726 in 2010 featuring a stainless steel case, an ashen grey ribbed dial and paired with a crocodile strap. The firm released an example fitted with a stainless steel bracelet in 2012. The present watch displaying a grey dial is an early variant, which is now discontinued. The annual calendar, along with the 24-hour display contributes to the simplicity of the design, and yet demonstrates the complexity of the movement. This Nautilus reference is a perfectly well-balanced design, sport-chic wristwatch for any gentleman.

    Offered in well-preserved overall condition with extremely minimal signs of use and wear, the present Patek Philippe Nautilus from circa 2011 is complete with its full set of accessories. Fresh-to-the-market, this ref. 5726A-001 is the 39th example to be identified and offers a fantastic opportunity for collectors to acquire a nice specimen of the now discontinued reference.
