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 was 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 Patek Philippe Nautilus 5724/12R Rose Gold Ruby is a masterpiece of horological artistry, representing the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking. This exquisite timepiece is designed for the most discerning clientele, reflecting the grandeur and expertise of major Swiss watchmakers.

This special Nautilus variant stands out with its sophisticated use of rubies. It features deep, romantically hued rubies set in an elegant rose gold bezel frame, adding a touch of luxury and distinction. The iconic octagonal case, inspired by submarine portholes, and the horizontally embossed dial, are emblematic of the Nautilus collection, which has been a symbol of refined sports watches since 1976.
