Patek Philippe Nautilus 18K Rosé

About the Watch

The Nautilus collection originated from the creative mind of the late Gérald Genta. Notably, Genta sketched its design in just five minutes while dining in close proximity to Patek Philippe executives. In contrast to the conventional discreet luxury watches, exemplified by shiny objects peeking from shirt cuffs, both the Nautilus and the Royal Oak defied norms. Their large matte cases, featuring pronounced bezels with subtle shine on polished bevels, deviated from the traditional aesthetic. The Nautilus, drawing inspiration from hermetically sealed portholes on transatlantic ocean liners, showcased a rounded octagonal shape. This stood in contrast to the Royal Oak's eight-sided octagonal bezel, inspired by deep-sea dive helmets. With the full rosé gold bracelet version reaching prices close to CHF 150'000, this 5711R-001 fitted with a leather strap acts as an alternative at a bit more reasonable price point. And, let's be honest, it looks even better as a dresswatch. This watch comes as a full set with a Certificate of Origin dated 2009, leather wallet, product literature, outer packaging and fitted presentation box.
