What is the story behind the Patek Nautilus?
The Nautilus, introduced in 1976, was Patek Philippe’s bold response to the quartz crisis that threatened traditional Swiss watchmaking. Designed by the legendary Gérald Genta, the Nautilus was inspired by maritime portholes, setting a new standard for luxury sports watches. With its iconic design, the Nautilus has epitomized the elegant sports watch since its launch in 1976. Today, it boasts a splendid and incredibly rich collection of models, including a variety of complications such as perpetual calendar or flyback chronograph.
