Catalogue Essay
The Patek Philippe Nautilus, introduced in 1976, emerged as a game-changer in luxury sports watches. Designed by the legendary Gerald Genta, the Nautilus was characterized by its distinctive porthole-inspired case, integrated bracelet, and a blend of sporty yet refined aesthetics. It quickly gained iconic status and became synonymous with Patek Philippe's commitment to timeless design and technical excellence. In 2009, Patek Philippe extended the Nautilus legacy with the introduction of the 7118 Nautilus model tailored specifically for women. This marked a significant expansion in the Nautilus collection, as it catered to the evolving preferences of female watch enthusiasts.
Featuring the self-winding caliber 324 with center seconds, the reference 7118 retained the signature design elements of the Nautilus while presenting a more petite and elegant profile, tastefully embellished with diamonds and meticulous detailing. Today, the ref. 7118/1A has become one of the most desirable sports watches for ladies.
Elevating the desirability of the present example is its coveted “Tiffany & Co.” signature, found at six o’clock. Consigned by the original owner, the watch is presented in brand new, unworn condition and is complete with its full set of accessories.
Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.
Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
