Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Patek Philippe Nautilus

Designed by Gerald Genta and originally introduced to the market in 1976, the Patek Philippe Nautilus was a radical departure from the types of high quality replica watches the company was known for at the time. In fact, before this time, Patek Philippe was mainly known for its ultra-thin dress watches, but the Nautilus represented a change and became a huge success.

When it comes to Nautilus watches, it's hard not to mention the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, which helped create a new luxury watch category in stainless steel. Still, the Nautilus is a surprising next step, as it's a stainless steel sports watch with a roomy case size.

Throughout its long history, Patek Philippe has been widely regarded as a conservative brand that relied on incremental evolution rather than outright revolution. Unlike brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe has historically never been involved in celebrity endorsement deals, meaning any image changes would rely more on the design of the actual watch.

The original Nautilus (formally known as the Reference 3700/1) was therefore revolutionary, as Patek Philippe aimed to revolutionize the brand's image to an extent that would bring it into the modern era. Nonetheless, this timepiece, nicknamed the “Jumbo” for its 42 mm case, retains plenty of Patek Philippe heritage. replica watches on sale

Stand out with superior technology A long-standing rumor has it that Gerald Genta designed the Nautilus through quick sketches over dinner, surrounded by Patek Philippe executives. From a visual perspective, the watch was partly inspired by the portholes on transatlantic liners, Genta said: “It was a sketch that I completed in five minutes.”

In addition to its unique appearance, the Nautilus series also allows Patek Philippe to showcase its superb technology. In addition to features such as the date display window, one of the biggest achievements is the design that evenly distributes water pressure and is waterproof to a depth of 120 meters.Richard Mille Skull replica watches

Early model of Nautilus Despite its ambition, the Nautilus did not immediately achieve the iconic status the series enjoys today, with several new versions introduced in the early 1980s to appeal to a wider market. In particular, Patek Philippe tried to reduce the case size, as 42mm was considered large at the time.

The women's Nautilus, Ref. 4700, was released in 1980, followed by a mid-size version, the Ref. 4700. 3800/1A, which had a case size of 37.5 mm. However, the overall design remained largely unchanged until 1998, when the Ref. 3710/1A features Roman numeral dial markers and power reserve indicator.replica Jacob & Co. watches

Entering the 21st century In 2005, Patek Philippe made its biggest innovation to the Nautilus series, launching the Ref. 3712, known as the "triple complication" model. Unlike previous Nautilus designs, it features an analog date display, power reserve and moon phase indicator. However, production was discontinued after just one year.

The following year marked the 30th anniversary of the original watch, and Patek Philippe released a new generation of Nautilus watches to mark the occasion. referee. 5711/1A features a larger 43mm case and an updated dial with blue accents, while also adding several novel versions, including the chronograph Ref.5711/1A. 5980.

Nautilus 40th Anniversary Edition In the years since, several noteworthy additions have been made to the Nautilus collection, including a white dial version released in 2012. Subsequently, the Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph Ref. 5990/1A was launched in 2014, introducing dual time function to the series for the first time.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Nautilus, which has become one of the most prestigious sports watches on the market. Although the brand remained tight-lipped at this year's Baselworld, it will launch a 40th anniversary collection later this year that will once again breathe new life into this iconic timepiece.
