  • Catalogue Essay

    An iconic timepiece, the Patek Philippe Nautilus has, since its launch in 1976, represented a debonair, suave and carefree lifestyle.

    It has in the past 45 years been offered in various sizes, dial variations, metals and complications. One of the latest iterations is the present reference 7018 which takes all the design cues that collectors have come to love about the Nautilus such as the porthole case, integrated metal bracelet and the immediately recognisable dial with embossed horizontal lines and adds an extra pinch of spice. The embossed lines are made to resemble a wave and are of different thickness, the dial is a beautiful gray opaline, grading to black at the periphery, the luminous hands and indexes are of the same shape and the bezel is set with 50 diamonds for a total of 0.753ct.

    The present reference 7018 in excellent overall condition and complete with box and certificate is an elegant and versatile timepiece.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
