  • Catalogue Essay

    Since the launch of the Patek Philippe Nautilus in the mid-1970s, the model has gained much attention among collectors and lovers of fine timepieces due to its iconic design. Though the very first Nautilus ref. 3700 featured a much larger jumbo sized case, Patek Philippe launched the ref. 3800 with a smaller unisex size at 37.5mm and a smaller ladies ref. 3900.

    In 2006, the firm launched their contemporary collection of the Nautilus. In 2009, the first contemporary ladies Nautilus model was released via the ref. 7011/1 and 7010/1. In 2013, Patek Philippe introduced the ref. 7018/1A in stainless steel with a diamond-set bezel with an attractive blue mother of pearl dial.

    The present example Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 7018/1A is offered in excellent overall condition with very minimal signs of use and wear and is further accompanied by its full set of accessories.

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    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.
