With the appearance of the legendary Nautilus watch by the legendary designer Gérald Genta, Patek Philippe managed a brilliant throw. The draft of Genta, whose better-known creations include the engineering for IWC (1975) and the Pasha for Cartier (1985), caused a minor scandal in 1976, but the steel Nautilus watch was the first sports watch by the Swiss luxury manufacturer. Milled from a solid block of steel and hermetically sealed with a massive bezel screwed tight, the first Nautilus quickly got the nickname "Jumbo". However, after a few years, a model with a smaller case followed and now there even are ladies' models of this modern classic. All models have the stylistically inspiring, almost industrial-looking form of the housing in common. The rounded octagon is a reminder of a classic bull's-eye: this steel-rimmed window of a passenger steamer was embedded in the hull with a solid hinge and presses tight into the seal on the other side by a massive screw tensile. In addition to the stylistic elements of a maritime theme world, it is self-evident that the Nautilus watch is up to the demands of a (water) sports watch, it is water resistant up to 12 atm.
The Patek Philippe, as the first steel sports watch, was a successful experiment, which once again increased the circle of buyers for Patek Philippe significantly. The watches with original references are sought objects that regularly achieve top bids at auctions.
By now, more elegant models, such as with diamonds, have been launched. Although the Nautilus watch is still very large, it has become much less robust, because the movements have become flatter in the past 30 years. However, now large, robust watches are even more in demand than at the time of the first appearance of the Nautilus. In 2007, Patek Philippe therefore launched a special anniversary model of the Nautilus, which, with a diameter of 43mm, is larger by one millimeter than even the original from 1976.
Patek Philippe has, since its founding over 150 years ago, always put great emphasis on quality materials and superior craftsmanship. The reward for this is that these watches by this manufacturer lose their value only in very exceptional cases and, in case of a regular auctions, they regularly are the most expensive lots.
