Patek's smaller Nautilus sits on its own reference family rather than being a shrunk version of the men's watch, with a wave-embossed dial texture of its own. The 7118 series runs across plain and diamond bezels in steel and gold, the 1200A designation marking the factory diamond bezel on steel.

This Patek Philippe Nautilus wears a 35.2mm steel case with a blue opaline dial in a wave pattern under a diamond-set bezel. Calibre 26-330 S C inside, on a steel bracelet.

Fun fact: the bezel diamonds are set directly into steel rather than into a gold insert, which is uncommon. Patek counts 56 brilliants at 0.71 carats across the octagon.

The collection

Nautilus

Patek's sports watch of 1976, its case shaped after a ship's porthole

Patek introduced the Nautilus in 1976, drawn by Gerald Genta and shaped, as the house still describes it, after a ship's porthole. The original ref. 3700/1 was 42mm across and 7.6mm deep, water resistant to 120m, and sold in steel on an integrated bracelet at a time when Patek was known for gold dress watches; it was later nicknamed the Jumbo. The rounded octagonal bezel, the two ears at the case sides and the horizontally embossed dial still identify it. The family now runs from a time and date model through the chronograph and the travel time flyback chronograph, the moon phase with power reserve, and annual and perpetual calendars, with smaller diamond set versions alongside.

Sizes in the family

35.2mm on the smaller models, 40mm to 41mm on the rest

Who it suits

For the buyer who wants the Patek name in something worn without ceremony, on a bracelet rather than a strap.
