Patek PhilippeNautilus Annual Calendar Moonphase

KEY FACTS

• ​Introduced in 1976 and designed by the iconic Gérald Genta, the Patek Philippe Nautilus is widely regarded as the world’s most desirable luxury sports watch
• Much of its desirability stems from the unique porthole-shaped case which has become an iconic shape in modern watchmaking 
• Launched in 2010, the ref. 5726 was the first Patek Philippe in stainless steel with an annual calendar complication
• This signature complication was invented by the ‘Holy Trinity’ watchmaker in 1996 and requires only one date adjustment per year 
• This 2022 example features a grey horizontally embossed gradient dial and is paired with a factory alligator strap  
• On the underside, an exhibition caseback displays the calibre 324 S QA LU 24H/303, an in-house developed automatic movement which is elaborately decorated and features a 21K gold winding rotor 
• Offered by a private seller, this one-owner watch was purchased new from an authorised Patek Philippe dealer
• ​Presented with its lacquered wood display box, outer packaging, booklets, and certificate of origin
• An additional unworn black leather Patek Philippe strap is included with the lot
• Graded ‘AA’ by the vendor who reports the watch is unworn and has only ever been handled with gloves
