The Nautilus is Gerald Genta's 1976 porthole, and the 5712 is the one that puts a complication on it without disturbing the shape. Small seconds, pointer date, moon phase and a power reserve sector, laid out asymmetrically across an embossed dial.

This Patek Philippe Nautilus Moon Phase wears a 40mm 18k rose gold case with a brown sunburst dial. Automatic 240 PS IRM C LU inside.

Fun fact: The 240 calibre is a micro rotor movement barely 2.5mm thick, which is how Patek fits four indications into a case no deeper than the time only Nautilus. The moon phase is accurate to a day in 122 years before it needs a correction.

The collection

Nautilus

Patek's sports watch of 1976, its case shaped after a ship's porthole

Patek introduced the Nautilus in 1976, drawn by Gerald Genta and shaped, as the house still describes it, after a ship's porthole. The original ref. 3700/1 was 42mm across and 7.6mm deep, water resistant to 120m, and sold in steel on an integrated bracelet at a time when Patek was known for gold dress watches; it was later nicknamed the Jumbo. The rounded octagonal bezel, the two ears at the case sides and the horizontally embossed dial still identify it. The family now runs from a time and date model through the chronograph and the travel time flyback chronograph, the moon phase with power reserve, and annual and perpetual calendars, with smaller diamond set versions alongside.

Sizes in the family

35.2mm on the smaller models, 40mm to 41mm on the rest

Who it suits

For the buyer who wants the Patek name in something worn without ceremony, on a bracelet rather than a strap.
