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.

This must-have timepiece has a 35.2mm Nautilus case in white gold and is entirely paved with diamonds snow-set on the case, bezel and bracelet. On the dial, the rows of stones are set in the small raised wave pattern typical of the Ladies’ Nautilus collection.

The center hours & minutes hands indicates the time on gold hour markers with luminescent coating while a discreet seconds hand strikes on this elegant dial. The self-winding movement is visible through the sapphire case-back and has a power reserve of 45 hours. The Caliber 324 S also has his hypnotic unidirectional central rotor in 21k gold stamped with the Calatrava cross!

A full white gold bracelet fully set with shinny diamonds will fix this rare timepiece around your wrist.
