Hands-On: Patek Philippe Nautilus Annual Calendar Black Watch Replica
I wonder if the two founders of Patek Philippe could have foreseen that, more than a hundred years after the brand's creation, Nautilus, an innovative collection that goes beyond the classics, would be making waves in the sports watch category and even the entire watch circle. Today, the Nautilus collection has become an integral part of Patek Philippe, and it has acquired another popular name - the Nautilus. Today, we'll take a look at one of the watches from this collection, Patek Philippe Nautilus Annual Calendar stainless steel watch replica 5726/1A-014 with a black dial and a leather strap.
Patek’s revisions meanwhile were popular with collectors. A slight rounding of the hinges framing the dial. A three-part case. And so on. Of the four original models, two remain in the collection today. The Ref 5711/1A and the Ref 5712/1A. The 5980/1A meanwhile made way for the upgraded Ref 5990/1A. And the diminutive Ref 5800/1A disappeared altogether.
Four years later, the Nautilus family expanded again. Joining the line-up was the new Patek Philippe Nautilus black dial watch 5726 replica. The first steel watch from Patek Philippe to feature an Annual Calendar. (See below if you don’t know what an Annual Calendar is). Again, this was a big deal at the time. This complication was previously reserved for more traditional dress watches. So, putting it in a steel luxury sports watch was an unexpected move to say the least.
Two apertures at 12 o’clock show the day and the month, while the date is at 6 o’clock. The small hand at 6 o’clock is the 24-hour indicator and in the same subdial, you’ll find the moon phases. On the Nautilus 5711/1A, you will find the date at 3 o’clock, which I find a bit more elegant. For me, the date at 6 o’clock in this 5726/1A is a bit off and should be positioned a bit more away from the rehaut. Perhaps I could have done without the 24-hour indicator and have used the subdial as date indicator instead. Not sure, but it appears a bit like they had one little element left, the date window, and just needed to put it somewhere where it would still keep the design symmetrical. Outside of the colour change, the Ref 5726/1A remains the same as its predecessors. This means a steel 40.5mm case standing 11.3mm tall. Water resistant to 120m.
As always, the finishing is sublime and the rotor is made of 21-carat gold. Then there’s the Geneva striping on the bridges (10 in total) and perlage on the main plate. The movement ticks at 28,800vph (4hz) and it has a power reserve of max. 45 hours.
Dial: Blue, black gradated – horizontal embossed pattern – centre hour, minute hands with luminescent coating – gold applied hour markers with luminescent coating – central seconds – annual calendar with date, day, month shown via apertures – moon phases – 24-hour indication.
Movement: Calibre 324 S QA LU 24H/303, in-house, Patek Philippe Seal – automatic with 21k gold central rotor – 28,800vph – 35h to 45h power reserve – 347 parts.
Price: USD 45,930.

A (Very) Brief History Of The Patek Philippe Nautilus replica 5726
In 2006, Patek Philippe unveiled four models to mark the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus collection. This was a big deal at it was the first the time the brand had made changes to the original 1976 design by Gérald Genta. Subtle changes mind you. Nothing like what Emmanuel Gueit did to the Royal Oak design in 1993, resulting in the Royal Oak Offshore. A watch that most definitely divided opinion.Patek’s revisions meanwhile were popular with collectors. A slight rounding of the hinges framing the dial. A three-part case. And so on. Of the four original models, two remain in the collection today. The Ref 5711/1A and the Ref 5712/1A. The 5980/1A meanwhile made way for the upgraded Ref 5990/1A. And the diminutive Ref 5800/1A disappeared altogether.
Four years later, the Nautilus family expanded again. Joining the line-up was the new Patek Philippe Nautilus black dial watch 5726 replica. The first steel watch from Patek Philippe to feature an Annual Calendar. (See below if you don’t know what an Annual Calendar is). Again, this was a big deal at the time. This complication was previously reserved for more traditional dress watches. So, putting it in a steel luxury sports watch was an unexpected move to say the least.
What is an Annual Calendar?
If you’re not familiar with this complication a brief explanation is useful. An Annual Calendar accounts for months with 30 and 31 days. That means it only needs correcting once a year on the 1st of March. The display usually incorporates the date, day, month and moonphase indicator. Patek Philippe invented the complication in the mid 90’s. A patent was granted in 1996 and it debuted in the Ref 5035J. Although less complex than a Perpetual Calendar, some view it as more practical. It’s generally also more accessible price-wise.The black dial
The new Patek Philippe Nautilus 40.5mm watch fake is not much different, however, it does have a stainless steel bracelet instead of the leather strap and it comes with a beautiful attractive gradient blue dial. Transitioning from blue at the centre to black at the dial’s periphery. It gives the watch a more contemporary look, opening it up to a younger audience. It also brings it more in-line with other Nautilus models. White gold hour markers and hands are applied with lume for better readability in low-light condition.Two apertures at 12 o’clock show the day and the month, while the date is at 6 o’clock. The small hand at 6 o’clock is the 24-hour indicator and in the same subdial, you’ll find the moon phases. On the Nautilus 5711/1A, you will find the date at 3 o’clock, which I find a bit more elegant. For me, the date at 6 o’clock in this 5726/1A is a bit off and should be positioned a bit more away from the rehaut.

Caliber 324 S QA LU 24H/303
Inside the Patek Philippe Nautilus Annual Calendar fake watch with moon phases is Patek’s caliber 324 S QA LU 24H/303. Indeed based on the caliber 324 S movement that we’ll find in the Nautilus 5711/1A replica. Besides the time, it indicates the day, date, month, moon phases and has a 24-hour indicator. The caliber 324 S QA LU 24H/303 consists of 347 parts and can be admired through the sapphire case back.As always, the finishing is sublime and the rotor is made of 21-carat gold. Then there’s the Geneva striping on the bridges (10 in total) and perlage on the main plate. The movement ticks at 28,800vph (4hz) and it has a power reserve of max. 45 hours.
