Patek Philippe only listed the Nautilus 5740/1G Perpetual Calendar with a blue dial, so the silvery white dial on this replica is a factory variant, housed in a white gold look case. Built around the 5740/1G-001 reference in white gold, this Nautilus 5740/1G white dial replica delivers the perpetual calendar complication inside the coolest-toned version of the 5740 available. A white-gold-look case, white dial and the clone Cal. 240 Q combine to create a Nautilus that leans closer to dress watch territory while retaining every element of the sports-watch DNA Gerald Genta established in 1976.

Build Details

• Case diameter: 40mm
• Case material: steel, white gold look (genuine: 18k white gold)
• Dial: white with horizontal embossing
• Crystal: sapphire
• Movement: automatic perpetual calendar (based on 240 Q)
• Functions: hours, minutes, day, date, month, leap year, moon phase
• Micro-rotor winding system
• Water resistance: 30 m (not for swimming)

Our clone renders the white gold in steel, so the 40mm case wears at steel weight while keeping the cool white-metal tone. The white dial against white gold creates a near-monochromatic silver palette that reads differently depending on ambient light.

What Collectors Notice

Patek Philippe makes the 5740/1G-001 only in white gold with a sunburst blue dial; this white dial and the rose gold versions are factory variants. White gold commands attention among collectors because it visually resembles steel from a distance but carries the weight and finishing of precious metal. The perpetual calendar displays remain identical across all three, but the white-on-white configuration makes the calendar hands in the subdials at 3, 6 and 9 stand out with maximum contrast. Compare across the entire Nautilus collection to understand where this sits. For a different complication approach at the same 40mm size, the 5712G-001 with baguette bezel trades the perpetual calendar for moon phase subdials and a diamond-set bezel.

This vs Other Versions

Choosing between the three 5740 variants comes down to color temperature. White gold with white dial is the coldest and most formal option. Rose gold with white dial splits the difference. Rose gold with brown is the warmest and most casual. The mechanical package stays identical across all three. This Nautilus 5740/1G perpetual calendar replica represents the most restrained and dressy execution of the Nautilus perpetual calendar, suited to anyone who values understatement over visual warmth.
