Patek Philippe Nautilus

The Nautilus is without question one of the great horological icons of the 1970s, and one of the most in-demand timepiece models on the planet. Collectors and prospectors alike are clamoring to get their hands on one of Genta's great luxury sport watch designs, and with the discontinuation of the flagship Reference 5711 in steel, this dramatic rise in popularity shows no signs of slowing down.  This ladies' Nautilus, a Reference 7011/1R-010, embodies all of the porthole-inspired character of its larger steel siblings, but with a bit more flair and panache. Dating to the 2010s, it shows off a solid 18K rose gold 33mm case with a signed crown, a smooth bezel, a sapphire crystal, and a grey ombré dial with applied, lume-filled rectangular and 'Arabic' indices, an inner minute track in white printing, a central section in light grey in a horizontally embossed pattern, a 3 o'clock date window, and a luminous gold 'baton' handset.  Holy smokes! Paired to a matching rose gold integrated bracelet and powered by the Patek Philippe Cal. E23-250 SC quartz movement, this stunning piece is the perfect choice for a lady of discerning taste desirous of a fine timepiece for everyday wear or special occasions. Featuring a special dial and accompanied by its inner and outer boxes, it's truly a thing of rare beauty.
