Nautilus 5726: The Ultimate Do It All Patek & Genta's Best Watch
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ม.ค. 2020
- As my search for my next grail watch continues, it was only natural that at some point I would review the legendary Nautilus by Patek Philippe. As an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak fan, I never took much interest in Gerald Genta's super luxury steel watch creation. What a mistake!
In this video I explore why this is possibly the greatest watch he ever designed. I look at the history of its creation, how it wears, and why it commands such respect. I also discuss how it has become the most desired super luxury watch in recent years and why the Patek Philippe Nautilus Annual Calendar Moon Phase (57261A010) is perhaps one of the best incarnations of this renowned watch.
Join me as I take a look at another watch of my wildest dreams and find out why this is the best do it all everyday Patek.

Let me guess, you want to put a nato on it don’t you?
Reading the comments about the Nautilus reminds that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. I'm sure there is a watch for every person and a person for every watch. Some like bling while others like simplicity. Even though I personally don't care for the Nautilus I appreciate knowing more about it, its design and designer. So thanks TGV, for the education and knowing more helps me appreciate more.
Wow the production value on the intro, and indeed the whole video, was awesome TGV!
Thanks for the amazing content!
Just when you thought the introductions couldn't get anymore epic!
I own a 5726...the current production 5726A-001. It's the only SS Nautilus that comes with an alligator strap. I absolutely love it!
my grail is a f91w, probably i can buy it in 3 years
That is awesome. Bravo.
Too funny.. but seriously I just bought 8 Casios Including 5 classic stainless steels, a calculator, a databank and a G-Shock square reissue from '83😍. Now back to real watches I guess😁
Dreams can come true my friend....one day yours will come true.
Stay the course.
@@Joshua-lz9sk sorry but I'm living in Italy. Including brexit tax import, it will be roughly 1030 euro. Btw i was joking of course, I recently got my first real watch, not my real grail (aqua terra golf edition) but a Sarb033 and I'm fine with it :)
This watch does nothing for me. Great presentation and I absolutely love to learn the history of the watch. It gives me some appreciation for the watch. It just doesnt change my heart rate.
Wonderful video as always! Thank you for taking the time to make these. I find them relaxing!
there's nothing like waking up and watching a TGV video before getting work done in the morning, it sets the tone for the day, love the quality of your videos TGV, keep it up. Grazie 😊
Absolutely best channel in watch community. Best reviews, you treat 10$ same as this Patek (which is something other channels could learn). Absolute class!
Love the white dial. Really makes the watch pop!
I just got one of my grail watches this weekend, a 2018 Sub and I’m just thankful for the journey it took me to get here and the journeys I will have with my sub. Love the channel.
I love this channel. Awesome research best narrative. TGV you are a legend. Thank you for all the great videos. DW👊
What a gorgeous piece!... thank you very much TGV for your pov of that Nautilus.
Ah, the Nautilus. From the name to the almost brutalist design sensitivity ticks all the right boxes. As per usual, a beautiful presentation Governor.
A beautifully filmed review that does justice to this steel beauty. Well done.
I don't like the Nautilus and I don't understand its success. Thank you for another video and till next time.
Expensive and distinctive, so people know what you have at a distance. Best of all, it's not a Rolex. Personally, I think it looks like a tacky watch that might have been sold at Sears in the 70s.
You know how to appreciate this watch only until you actually own one, the delicacy and comfort along with the settlement of the brand show tastes and confidence of the owner!
Loving the intro music! Well done again TGV, thank you for the content
Thank you Kurt :D
Best regards,
TGV
The videos are getting better and better. I really enjoy it. Keep on that brilliant work my friend.
Your production is shockingly good, thanks for making this video. Keep up the amazing work
A blue dial nautilus 5711 is by far my favorite watch. Thank you TGV for reviewing this amazing watch.
Excellent upload TGV. Really hit this out of the park. Good work friend
This is my ultimate grail with blue dial ❤️😍😍
Love the Friday vid.
It’s become something I look forward to.
Thank you TGV
Cheers 🥂
Thank you Farshid!
Always happy to hear from you my friend, have a great weekend!
Best regards,
TGV
Another great vid about an awesome timepiece. Thanks a bunch and keep it up, TGV! Very best regards from Geneva !
I’m far from a watch enthusiast but I respect the tremendous effort you put into each video
I have to say, that watch looks the nuts.
Never been a fan of the RO or the Nautilus. After seeing you show this piece off, I really like it. Thanks TGV!
That intro was so good! Most epic intro ever. I'd say even Hollywood movies don't have such epic intros/trailers/teasers
Such a lovely design, the Nautilus. A good example of case and bracelet working in harmony.
Love it as always!!
I like this montage! beautiful alternation between the review and the war room
Great review, nice to have history besides the glamour, on the wish list same as yourself maybe one day but you had the enjoyment for a week.
TGV,
Not related to the video but I felt I had to comment.
I have only come across your channel in the past couple of weeks but must have watched 50+ of your videos already.
I have liked watches for a few years and have an Oris Aquis Titan big second hand, Seiko grey dawn samurai and Tag professional.
With it being my wife and I’s 30th birthdays this year, and we have decided to buy each other an extra special watch, I have really got into the finer details of watches and their heritages etc and have learnt loads from your videos and find them so watchable compared to others so thank you and please keep producing and releasing the quality content.
Thank you
Dan
Very informative!! Looks like you really enjoy working for Watchbox!! :-) Cheers!
This was definitely one of my favorite intros
Dear Sir,
Let me begin by saying that your channel and reviews, which resemble mini documentaries, are truly second-to-none. Your passion and enthusiasm comes through on everything you do, and is truly contagious. I credit you for reminding me of the joy of wearing a timepiece again. Years ago I fell victim to the belief that having a cellphone on one's person at all times made wearing a wristwatch obsolete. I realize now how silly that was. Thank you for pulling me back from the brink of the technological monotony that is our world today.
With that being said, I would like to make an observation that I hope you will take to heart. Please consider that many of us, the "pleebs" as I believe Hugo referred to us, have a love and appreciation for the arts and culture that vastly outstrips our purses. Regardless of my heart and soul dreaming of "the finer things", the reality is, they only live in my dreams. Rolex, Omega, Grand Seiko shall never be for the likes of me. Even if I had that kind of disposable income, I would invest it in my children's education, as it is my obligation to provide for them a better life than I have been dealt.
With great excitement, I purchased an SNK809 after enjoying your review. I wore it for two days before accepting that the numbers on the dial were simply too small for me to read. I gifted it to my better-half as her timex was long overdue for retirement. She was elated, and for that I was happy. I will not be purchasing another watch anytime soon as it is not in my budget. I chose to share my story with you as a way of illustrating that many of us will never know what it's like to own many of the fine timepieces that have crossed your desk. However, it doesn't mean we appreciate them any less. I am sure I speak for the multitudes when I say I forgive you for the time you spend nitpicking a clasp, the shape of a bezel, or a non-hackable movement etc.
Thank you for your tremendous efforts and for the joy you share with so many. Please give my regards to Hugo.
Thank you.
Mine is still the VC Fifty Six Complete Calendar in 18kt.
I got my Two Tone DateJust last week and I absolutely love it.
OMG, such a cool watch!
I love it Owly, thank you my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
That is awesome watch. Keep up the good work.
A beautiful watch I will never have the opportunity to purchase. Beautiful piece.
The Nautilus 5726 is definitely a very fine time piece and a credit to the maker's name. It's also a watch I'll never, ever own.
Brilliant work my friend. Patek Philippe has to be my favorite. I'll have to admire it through your video as its out of reach for me. 👍
I love this watch tgv 🤩 one of the best choices for this price range 👍🙂
Finally a review of a nice watch. I was beginning to loose hope. In any case, amazing review as usual.
Arguably the best bang for buck Nautilus with the most useful set of complications, but I’m biased as an owner of this reference for the 2nd time pairing it with my 5960 P Anthracite dial. 120m water resistance trumps the 5712 and all the Royal Oaks. Mine has the grey dial making it more versatile as opposed to the blue or white. Good review regardless what Archie Luxury says about you ☝🏻😉
Good evening TGV, great you bring on the Nautilus! Yes the Nautilus is Genta‘s masterpiece. To speak openplay, the Nautilus is a watch that grows. I was not a big fan of the Nautilus when I started to get into watches, but with the time I really got into the design. The inclusion of the moonphase complication is georgious in this piece, great hybrid between sport and dress. Best regards!
Evening my friend.
I am totally with you, I was exactly the same about the Nautilus when I got into watches too!
Thank you my friend, glad I was not alone.
Best regards,
TGV
No hacking? Guess I will stay with my Sarb, sorry Philippe but I only accept the best
As Hugo wisely said, Patek is just a good beater.
Terrific watch and excellent review sir. What an astonishing piece of art. Looking forward to APRO comparison . If I can ever afford I’d buy both.
I really like this model Nautilus in particular. The black markers pop beautifully on that silvered dial. But all that money and it has no hacking and even more frustratingly, no sizing adjustments in the bracelet, that really needs to change in the next model IMO.
Personally I don’t get the sports hype around these. A Nautilus could just never be a daily wearer for me, that steel brushed and polished bezel would have me inching around every door frame, door handle, basically anything that’s wrist height!
I think for the wear everyday and bang them about sports watches, i’d much rather be looking at Rolex, GS, Omega, Breitling, Tudor etc etc or something fancy like Blancpain or Breguet if I wanted to flex a little. Then getting a beautiful dressy watch for special occasions from Patek, probably in gold and ideally with an annual calendar complication.
I can wear a sub or an Explorer etc and forget its there daily. But then still smile when I check the time. I don’t mind so much about the wear and tear from daily wear in those because they feel built for taking it. I don’t think I could ever wear a Nautilus or Royal Oak without wanting to bubble wrap it first! I guess your perspective changes when you have Patek money, if ur a multi millionaire, scuffing your watch bezel is no big deal!
The Nautilus is just beautiful, but it’s about as sporty compared with real sports watches as a 4X4 SUV is an off-roader when compared with a Defender or something.
Cracking Good Video, I totally enjoy the history illustrated with the magazine ads
One of the best watch channels on TH-cam
What a capolavoro! Seriously... both your review and the watch itself... in the end I still prefer the royal oak myself. Have a wonderful day
Wow. Very nice watch for sure. Very unique yet tasteful.
Hi from Holland, great review! My favorite is the AP RO 15500ST with black dial which I recently bought. Enjoy your watches, it's about the journey.
Great review TGV. The nautilus is a watch that will always be an amazing icon. However, I like the royal oak beter.
Looking forward to the next one.
Redards,
Koen
Happy New Year! Greetings from Greece!
That opening was epic good job, I don't have a grail in mind not yet anyway there are to many fun watches out there to just have one grail just yet.
Absolutely fantastic watch TGV though I actually prefer the simplicity of the aquanaut... but that's just me. I suspect I will just have to marvel from a distance because I'm not sure I could ever justify the expense even if I could afford it. Which is where your very excellent videos come in.
Very nice video. I like it more when you get to the point quicker and THEN you make your comments. I find it way more useful that way, keeps me interested. If you could do a JLC reverso tribute duoface that would be amazing.... it is lining up on my next luxury watch, quickly! Great video once again
It's a beautiful watch, a real work of art.
I'm really fall in love with this watch, hopefully I'll get one of these treasure one day ❤😊
So nice, I really like the dual time
Best intro yet.
A great video on a watch about which I knew nothing. Thanks. I bet Dulux didn't expect a name-check...
Great video TGV, recently brought a smiths deluxe after watching one of your videos, you should do a video on there history, they have got alot of heritage and hardly anyone knows about them.
Keep up the good work 👍🏻
i LOVE your tv screensaver !
Stunning piece
I’ll stick with my Seiko cocktail time: it’s got hacking! .... seriously, the finishing on the nautilus bracelet is insane. I also love the movement finishing and the annual calendar complication. The AP Royal Oak still has more character somehow though. Great and enjoyable review!
Great video, thank you
My absolute unobtainable grail watch unless I win the lotto. Nice video!!
Great review as usual..
Hello, I’m curious as to how you can obtain such watches from WatchBox. I understand you have a working relationship with them. But do they keep a sample of watches for review and sell the ones that are not on the sample or are the watches you review all in their sales inventory? If the latter, how do they ensure it is in the intended sales condition prior to lending it to you for review?
Thank you, love this channel, keep up the good work!
Absolutely beautiful!!!
You are amazing. Made me buy a vintage mechanical timex and just ordered the citizen promaster diver
That’s my lottery win watch totally love it.
Cheers TGV 👍
This is my holy grail. White dial is beautiful
That watch could have been designed today. Amazing design. It will always look modern and futuristic. The dial, the hands, the indices - perfection
Love ur videos!!
These watches really are marvelous looking.
Robocop blue is such an accurate description of that shade
Love that Intro. Makes me want to buy haute horology
Like your new intro. Well done! Oh, and your videos aren't half-bad either. :-)
Totally agree about the dial colour - that aside, beautiful watch with the coolest model name ever! - it’s a shame I d have to live in a cardboard box to buy one lol !!
As always awesome intro sir. Very good the Nautilus has changed your initial view of it. Have to be honest it's not my favourite look and can't say that Patek Phillipe, to coin the Doors "lights my fire 🔥". Certainly amazing watch and watches. Just think if I had the money and the desire to spend I would initially look elsewhere that's all. Sublime review as always Hope 2020 is treating you well so far my friend and enjoy searching for your grail , hope you have as much fun as Monty Python had in their search 🙂
Great watch but to sporty for me even though im 20 years old they say I have old soul I prefer classic .
my all time grail watch is Patek Phillipe Grand compllications 5237R. Also another great episode .
All the best,
Kristijan
THIS is my dream watch
That looks more elegant than the chronograph version.
Great review TGV! You have started the year with a blast. Could you please review the Longines Master C. Retrograde or the Frederiq Constant Classic Moonphase FC-330MC4P6B ?
Best wishes!
Radu
Great video as always. One day perhaps I will obtain a Patek but until then your videos will have to suffice.
The RO looks more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than the Nautilus, nice review!
CKR!
Lovely to hear from you old friend, happy 2020!
Thank you as always for the comment and support,
Best regards,
TGV
When I hear "Patek", there's only calatrava on my mind.
Same!
Awesome review!
I would love to see a TGV review of the IWC big pilot. Maybe a look at the first 5002 ref and the newest one?
Have to hand it to man your a great producer.
I love that intro!
TGV, 'a Dulux edition' of the Jules Verne classic? You painted an evocative picture here!
I prefer the dial you show there more than the ever popular blue dial.
Great review....while I like the Patek Philippe, I’ve begun itching for the 2019 AP 15202BC.
The VC Overseas is nice too, but in the end will hold out for the Day-Date-40.
Thanks and be well..
Killer intro TGV!
This is the Patek to have. The renowned Nautilus case, the hallmark Moon-face dial, the trademark Annual calendar. Fantastic review. If this watch was a women, it would be no one, coz the perfect women does not exist. If it does its gonna cost as much as this Patek.
Thanks that was nice to see. First Nautilus I’d actually wear. Beautifully balanced design. Amazing improvement just moving the date to six imo. Pretty sure Patek would know how to make a bracelet and doubt it’s the “same as found on much cheaper brands”. Yep value gas changed in a short time I got a 5117g back in 2004 and could have had a Nautilus for less but didn’t like it. Now it’s about three x price even though it shared the same movement and stainless steel instead of white gold. Wild. Still glad I own mine as you should wear the watch you value most not the watch with the most value as it were.
Could you please do a review on the VC 56 series particularly the Complete Calendar with Grey Dial. Thanks
