SUMMARY

The ref. 5740/1G-001 is an important historical reference being the first Nautilus to house a Grand Complication. Offering an unmatched combination of technical expertise and sporty character, the white gold 40mm case and integrated bracelet are expertly hand-finished with a blend of brushed and polished surfaces throughout. The complications are neatly laid out in three sub-registers and positioned within the distinctive horizontally embossed blue dial. Turning the watch over, a sapphire crystal displays the calibre 240 Q movement, which is elaborately decorated with Côtes de Genève across the bridges and the 22K winding rotor.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
