Description

The Nautilus collection is the sport watch by excellence since 1976. In this very year, Mr Gerald Genta designed it in a restaurant during the Basel fair. Patek Philippe was known for it’s round shaped case and classical watches, therefore, due to the high number of sport watches produced in the industry, Mr Genta decided to design a sport watch and took his inspiration in the Nautical arts and more specifically from a ship’s porthole. This design had an immediate success and is now an unquestionable collection in the Patek Philippe dynasty.

The width bezel gives a large vision on the dial as the horizon when watching through an porthole and the side lugs also called “ears” are inspired by the hinges on these windows. A simple but elegant design that helped Patek Philippe to touch a large public of watch passionates.
Years after years, the Nautilus collection’s success is colossal also due to the new versions released with a larger case or a sapphire case-back. It is considered as the must-to-have timepiece for man or woman’s lifestyle as it combines elegance, sporty and a timeless design.

The 7010/1R-012 Ladies Nautilus Quartz is a testament to Patek Philippe’s craftsmanship and dedication to timepiece excellence. Known for its sophisticated horological creations, Patek Philippe unveiled the Ladies Nautilus, epitomizing a harmonious blend of sporty aesthetics and feminine elegance.

Introduced as a part of the iconic Nautilus series, which began its journey in 1976, this ladies’ variant retains the collection’s signature design elements. The porthole-inspired octagonal bezel with softened edges, for instance, pays homage to the maritime world, while the embossed horizontal grooves on the dial provide a touch of modernity.

This model, the 7010/1R-012, boasts an 18K rose gold case and bracelet, lending the watch a warm, luxurious glow that appeals to those with a penchant for opulence. Its shimmering sunburst dial, often in silvery or gradient hues, is adorned with gold applied hour markers and numerals, ensuring legibility and style.

At the heart of this watch beats a precise quartz movement, ensuring reliability and accuracy, while eliminating the need for regular winding. This choice of movement makes it especially suitable for those who prioritize hassle-free maintenance and consistent timekeeping.

Further enhancing its allure, the watch is adorned with a seamless row of diamonds on its bezel, accentuating its refined charm. The sapphire crystal case back, however, remains solid, ensuring the focus remains on the stunning front facade.
