In 1974, Patek Philippe approached legendary Swiss watchmaker and designer Gérald Genta to design a fresh and innovative luxury sports watch. It is said that Genta made the original prototype sketch for the Nautilus in just five minutes on a napkin while dining at a restaurant. Later released in 1976 as the ref. 3700, Genta’s design was influenced by the portholes on ocean liners with its stainless steel construction, rounded edges, and hinge-inspired sides. The Nautilus’ name pays homage to Captain Nemo’s submarine from Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. During the 1970s, the watch industry was hit with the “quartz crisis,” during which time newly invented battery-powered watches were threatening the mechanical watch industry. Watches with fresh and innovative designs, such as the Patek Philippe Nautilus, were crucial in the survival of the luxury watch industry and launched watchmaking into the new era. The importance of Gérald Genta’s designs and the Nautilus during this period cannot be understated. With a timeless look that shines on any occasion, this model became one of the most recognizable watches ever made and has been at the forefront of Patek Philippe’s brand image since its release.
The ref. 5726/1A was first released in 2012 as an extension of the Nautilus Collection and was available with either a black-dial option or a white-dial option fitted on a stainless steel bracelet. These offerings have since been taken out of production, with only a blue-dial option being available for retail sale. This makes the present example highly desirable to collectors.
This fresh-to-market Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5726/1A takes Genta’s original design and elevates it, adding annual calendar complications to the watch while maintaining the sleekness that the model is known for. Powered by Patek Philippe’s innovative caliber 324 S QA LU 24H, this watch tracks and displays the month, day of the week, date, moon phase, and a 24-hour dial. This movement consists of 347 individual parts and automatically considers months with 30 and 31 days, meaning that if it is continually run, it only has to be adjusted once a year. The watch comes on the Nautilus’ stainless steel integrated bracelet with a double folding clasp. The Patek Philippe logo can be found on the watch’s crown, clasp, and 21-karat gold central rotor. With its striking black dial and horizontal embossed lines, this Nautilus exhibits the pinnacle of watchmaking design and the precision that Patek Philippe is known for.
