Patek Philippe Ref. 5726/1A-014
Back in 2010, Patek Philippe united its sporting spirit and technical sophistication in a Nautilus watch with an Annual Calendar, a moon-phase display and a 24-hour indicator. This watch, the Ref. 5726A, comes in a steel case on a leather strap and has since been joined by others with a steel bracelet. This year, the manufacture reinterpreted that steel-bracelet version by fitting it with an elegant blue dial—the color on the original Nautilus model from 1976. On the dial, the horizontal embossing and the subtle shading at the periphery create a powerful but refined decor, while the hours and minutes are indicated with white-gold hour markers and hands, accompanied by a slender sweep seconds hand.
