Catalogue Essay
The Nautilus collection was introduced in 1976 following Patek Philippe's desire to create a model with a strong case design. Created by the late and great Gérald Genta, it was inspired by the universal shape of a porthole found on maritime vessels.
The Nautilus went on to establish itself as a classic elegant sports watch that still remains in production, and versions in gold are especially sought after in today’s market.
