The Nautilus is Gerald Genta’s 1976 porthole, the steel sports watch that redefined what Patek Philippe could be. Its horizontally embossed dial and integrated bracelet became the most requested design in modern collecting.

The 5726 adds an annual calendar and moon phase to the Nautilus case, slate dial on the integrated steel bracelet.

Fun fact: Patek only lets a Nautilus carry a complication if the dial stays legible at a glance, which is why the annual calendar took thirty years to arrive on the case Genta drew in a single morning in 1976.

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.
