The Patek Philippe Nautilus is the luxury sports watch par excellence and a timepiece whose lure far exceeds the watchmaking business; it’s a style icon and a piece to be handed down from one generation to another, as claimed by the brand’s ad campaign. The original Patek Nautilus dates back to 1976 and belongs to a flourishing decade in fashion and design, paired with an unstoppable evolution from analogue to digital technology and relevant political and social changes across the globe.
The Nautilus was not the first of its kind; it followed up another iconic wristwatch, the Royal Oak by Audemars Piguet, launched in 1972. Gérald Genta designed both watches, the man behind the contemporary luxury sports watch with integrated bracelets.
In 1839, Antoni Patek and Franciszek Czapek founded a company in Geneva to produce pocket watches. After Czapek’s departure in 1845, the association with Adrien Philippe gave birth to the Patek Philippe brand. Patek Philippe is known for its dedication to traditional craftsmanship, innovation, and the production of highly complicated timepieces. A symbol of excellence, its models are sought-after by collectors, with vintage complications often breaking records at auctions.
