  • Catalogue Essay

    The Patek Philippe Nautilus has gained immense popularity since its release in 1976. This popularity has extended to the ladies' collection in the 1980s and continues to be produced today. The movement powering this reference 7010/1R Nautilus is the quartz caliber E23-250 S C which provides the advantage of convenience, as it eliminates the need to wind or set the watch every few days, making it highly practical for daily wear.

    To add another touch of luxury to the timepiece, it is encased in elegant 18K pink gold where the matching Nautilus bracelet not only complements the overall aesthetic but also ensures a comfortable wearing experience on the wrist. One notable feature of this watch is its dial, which showcases an early two-tone finish. The middle of the dial features a ribbed design, creating a unique texture, while the outer portion has a smooth finish. To enhance its allure, the bezel is adorned with 46 brilliant-cut diamonds and added an extra level of glamour and brilliance to the watch, elevating its overall aesthetic appeal.
