Collection
As the festive season approaches, many collectors ponder which horological companion will grace their wrist for special occasions or relaxed staycations. Joenghenry kicks off this perennial discussion by showcasing his Patek Philippe Ref. 5740, inviting fellow enthusiasts to share their choices and the stories behind them. This thread captures the community's diverse preferences and the personal significance watches hold during holiday periods.
The Nautilus reference 5740/1G-001 represents a significant addition to the Nautilus collection, integrating a perpetual calendar complication into the distinctive case design. This reference marked the first time a perpetual calendar was housed within a Nautilus, elevating its technical sophistication while maintaining the established aesthetic of the line. It appeals to collectors seeking a combination of Patek Philippe's high complications and the sportier profile of the Nautilus.
This timepiece features an 18k white gold case measuring 40 mm in diameter and 8.42 mm in thickness. It is powered by the ultra-thin self-winding caliber 240 Q, which provides a power reserve of 48 hours. The movement is visible through a sapphire crystal case back, while the front is protected by a sapphire crystal. The watch is water resistant to 60 meters.
The blue sunburst dial with its horizontal embossed pattern is characteristic of the Nautilus family, here featuring three sub-dials for the perpetual calendar indications. The integrated bracelet is also crafted from 18k white gold. This reference stands as a notable example of Patek Philippe's ability to combine complex horology with a distinct design language, offering a refined option within its grand complication offerings.
I know that fabric on the sofa, that plaid rug, etcβ¦ as far as Iβm concerned itβs the best hotel in HK. (Now if only it were easier to get a table at Chaat.) Enjoy! Oh - and while I prefer to wear no watch at all when on holiday, nice watch too. Best E.
Enjoy your staycation!
Along with a salute to you. Merry XMAS π π»ππ
MO is always going to be the grand dame in HK for me. Happy Holidays Henry!
A fitting accompaniment to a happy, relaxed and wonderful Christmas Day! As for me, not sure⦠I still have time to decide.
But I still do not know where that will be. At home or somewhere out. It all depends on the latest news. Happy holidays my friends, no matter where you are. GEO
