He hesitated between the Jumbo Nautilus and the iconic Ellipse. After finally making his mind up, he choose the revolutionary design of the Nautilus. Before completing his purchase, in order to recognise his watch instantly, he asked Gubelin to change one link with a gold one, with they happily accommodated, and that is still found on the watch today. Amazingly the original invoice from Gubelin details this special request. Regularly maintained at Patek Philippe and Gubelin over the years, it has been kept with all its original documentation, a rare find today.
