The Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual Calendar 5740G was unveiled at Baselworld 2018 to much fanfare, as it marked the debut of the perpetual calendar complication in the iconic Gerald Genta-designed watch. It still retains its signature looks, with the embossed blue dial, integrated bracelet and 40mm size. It’s also got a pleasing degree of heft thanks to the white gold case.Since its release, it’s been a hot property, and we’ve spotted it on the wrist of three famous celebrities who have a taste for fine watchmaking (and serious wrist statements). The first celebrity quick out of the blocks to get his hands on the Ref 5740/1G was Mark Wahlberg. He was spotted with it on holiday in Barbados at the end of last year, wearing it while taking a splash in the ocean (see below). We have previously highlighted Wahlberg's growing collection here.The next person is Canadian rapper Drake who was sporting the same timepiece while at a Toronto club watching the Toronto Raptors clinch the 2019 NBA Championship against the Golden State Warriors.The final celebrity is Trevor Noah, the South African born host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central. Noah has been wearing an assortment of timepieces, ranging from modern and vintage Rolex to current Patek Philippe models such as the Ref 5711 Nautilus in rose gold and the Aquanaut Advanced Research. He was wearing his Nautilus perpetual calendar during an appearance on the popular YouTube show Hot Ones, where celebrities talk about a range of topics while eating chicken wings with different hot sauces.In my opinion, Wahlberg wore it best, wearing while engaging in some relaxation at the beach.[tt_in_content_assets_2]
