Patek Philippe marks 50 years of the Nautilus
The launch of Nautilus in 1976 provoked various responses, yet Patek Philippe believed in the enfant terrible.
The 50th anniversary is marked by limited editions as well as a thematic exhibition at the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva.
The exhibition looks back to the 1970s, when gold dress watches became incompatible with people pursuing a dynamic lifestyle. Hence, Patek Philippe elevated rugged stainless steel as a material for a robust yet luxurious timepiece, whose case was neither round nor rectangular while the octagonal bezel featured softened corners.
Embodying sporty elegance, the resulting Nautilus with an integrated bracelet “goes with a wet suit as well as with a tuxedo”, headlined in an ad.
The atypical case ensured an impressive water resistance of 120m, thanks to an architecture with a single bore for the winding stem and the octagonal bezel attached onto two hinges by four clamping screws.
The construction recalled portholes with a hinge-and-bolt locking system, like those on transatlantic ocean liners.
