Patek Philippe Nautilus 40th Anniversary – Four Things to Know
Patek Philippe Nautilus rocks the 4-0 competition with two new limited edition high quality replica watches.
Will they or won't they? Patek Philippe left watch enthusiasts scratching their heads at Baselworld in March when the company remained tight-lipped about its plans to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Nautilus.
We also think that's probably not going to happen, given the long radio silence, lackluster retail sentiment, and all that jazz.
How little faith we have. Of course, Patek Philippe had to bring it. After all, the Nautilus is just one of the most groundbreaking and iconic luxury sports watches of all time. And they did, launching not one, but two limited-edition models that will go a long way to easing the sleepless nights for Nautilus fans.
Now, here are four essential things to know about the new Patek Philippe 40th Anniversary Limited Edition to get you right into the conversation. Richard Mille Skull replica watches
The new style incorporates “luxury” into luxury sports watches.
Forget the steel craze that has gripped the watch industry this year. Patek Philippe has followed the trend (aren't they always like that?) by outfitting these two limited edition watches in precious metals. The first product, the Nautilus Ref. 5711/1P is a self-winding model with date and large seconds in platinum.
The second model, the Nautilus Ref. 5976/1G is an automatic flyback chronograph with column wheel, crafted in 18K white gold. Both versions feature a dial with white gold hour markers set with baguette diamonds, which enhances the sense of luxury. grace.
They bear traces of history.
The Nautilus Ref. 5711/1P automatic watch is a limited edition and its lineage can be traced back to the first Nautilus replica watches on sale in 1976: Ref. 5711/1P. 3700/1A, nicknamed the “Jumbo” because of its 42 mm case diameter. They bear traces of history.
The 40th Anniversary Edition goes one step further, with a case diameter of 44 mm. The new watch is powered by the 324 SC automatic movement, one of Patek Philippe's most acclaimed movements. It features a proprietary Spiromax balance spring and Gryromax balance, a heavy-duty 21K gold oscillating weight, fine machining of all movement components, and is accurate to 13 to +2 seconds per day.
The Nautilus Ref. 5976/1G Flyback Chronograph is limited to 1,300 pieces and has an updated backstory. It is a descendant of the first Nautilus chronograph, launched in 2006 to mark the 30th anniversary of the series. This 40th Anniversary Edition is powered by the in-house CH 28-520 C automatic movement, which is unique in that it has an integrated chronograph totalizer at “6”. replica Jacob Co. watches
Okay, first, a disclaimer: personal opinion. Here's what we love: the new light-to-dark gradient navy hue highlights the iconic nautilus horizontal embossing on the dial, while also creating a beautiful contrast with the platinum or white gold sheen. At issue, however, is the inscription detailing the anniversary. While important, we believe the implementation could be more cautious. But hey, you know what some people say - go big or go home.
Don't judge us. External beauty is important, okay? Both limited edition watches stand out in this department – housed in a gorgeous brown natural cork box with a polished stainless steel frame that is reminiscent of the original Nautilus watches.
