In this captivating photo essay, joenghenry shares his Christmas holiday experiences in Seoul, offering a personal glimpse into his festive travels. His Patek Philippe Ref. 5740, a perpetual calendar with a micro-rotor movement, serves as a constant companion throughout his culinary adventures and city explorations. This post beautifully illustrates how a cherished timepiece can become an integral part of life's most memorable moments.
















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'd love it in steel.
Steel is certainly better in terms of true white colour and less easy to catch scratches
That watch is way too badass. When pictured with Hanwoo beef it becomes very decadent. Enjoy. Best Gatsby
