  • Catalogue Essay

    The Patek Philippe Nautilus has become one of the hottest timepieces in the market today. While the modern collection was released in 2006 via the ref. 5711 for men, it was three years later in 2009 when the firm released their first contemporary lady’s nautilus reference via the ref. 7011 and 7010 powered by the firm’s quartz cal. E 23-250 S C.

    In 2011, the ref. 7008 was introduced featuring a diamond-set bezel and a mother of pearl dial with the introduction of an automatic caliber. A major milestone for lady’s Nautilus model, the incorporation of an automatic caliber was well-received by lady collectors around the world. In 2015, the ref. 7008 was discontinued and succeeded by the ref. 7018 featuring a wavy blue mother of pearl ribbed dial. With a short production run of three years, Patek Philippe then replaced it with the current ref. 7118 featuring a clean 35.2 diameter stainless steel case.

    Today, the ref. 7118/1A-001 has become the hottest lady’s Nautilus reference as it bears the signature colors of the famed model. The present example from circa 2020 is offered in “like new” overall condition and is further complete with tis full set of accessories.
