In this very year, Mr Gerald Genta designed it in a restaurant during the Basel fair. Patek Philippe was known for it’s round shaped case and classical watches, therefore, due to the high number of sport watches produced in the industry, Mr Genta decided to design a sport watch and took his inspiration in the Nautical arts and more specifically from a ship’s porthole. This design had an immediate success and is now an unquestionable collection in the Patek Philippe dynasty. The width bezel gives a large vision on the dial as the horizon when watching through an porthole and the side lugs also called “ears” are inspired by the hinges on these windows. A simple but elegant design that helped Patek Philippe to touch a large public of watch passionates. Years after years, the Nautilus collection’s success was colossal also due to the new versions released with a larger case or a sapphire case-back. It is considered as the must-to-have timepiece for man or woman’s lifestyle as it combines elegance, sporty and a timeless design. The present model is the Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph in Steel, reference 5980/1A-001 This timepiece is a discontinued model in stainless steel with a 40mm case and bracelet. The blue dial reveal a date at 9 o’clock – white & blue counter at 6 o’clock – luminescent hands & indexes – chronograph function. An automatic movement is visible through a sapphire case-back with a beautiful oscillating weight in gold stamped with the Calatrava cross. The full stainless steel bracelet will fix this beauty around your wrist.
