Patek Philippe Nautilus Automatic Ladies Ref. 7118/1R
Nautilus Automatic Patek Philippe has unveiled two new stunning additions to its Nautilus collection, both elegantly crafted in rose gold and offered with a choice of a silvery opaline or golden opaline dial.
The Ladies Automatic Nautilus in rose gold originally made its debut in 2015 as a diamond-set variation. Now, Patek Philippe enriches its range of watches with a fresh iteration featuring a refined plain gold bezel.
Nautilus Automatic Water-resistant up to 60 meters
The watch’s case, impressively water-resistant up to 60 meters, pays homage to the iconic Nautilus design introduced in 1976 with the release of the first men’s model. It features two elongated lateral lugs, reminiscent of the locks and hinges on portholes, along with an octagonal bezel boasting softened angles and beveled flanks.
The case’s exceptional character is further accentuated by the subtle interplay of contrasting finishes: satin-finished on the top and mirror-polished on the flanks.
Design and Materials
As for the dials, they present a choice of two exquisite colors: silvery opaline and golden opaline. Both dials feature an embossed pattern of gentle waves, a signature characteristic of Ladies Nautilus watches, infusing these timepieces with a distinctive character.
The applied numerals and hour markers, along with the hands, are all fashioned from rose gold and coated with luminescent material to ensure optimal legibility. Adding to the elegance, there’s an applied rose-gold frame that enhances the date aperture located at 6 o’clock.
Self-winding movement
Inside these two new examples of casual femininity from Patek Philippe resides a meticulously finished caliber 324 S C self-winding movement. The movement is adorned with bridges featuring chamfered and polished edges, as well as Geneva stripe decoration. The rotor boasts circular Geneva stripes and an engraved Calatrava Cross, all of which can be admired through the sapphire-crystal case back.
Choice for discerning watch enthusiasts.
The rose gold bracelet, a harmonious blend of polished and satin finishes, is equipped with a new fold-over clasp that incorporates an adjustment system. This system allows the wearer to extend the bracelet’s length by 2 to 4 mm for enhanced comfort.
With the clasp closed, one can easily pull on one or both halves of the bracelet, even while wearing the watch. The new References 7118/1R-001 and 7118/1R-010, featuring plain gold bezels, join the existing Refs. 7118/1200R models with diamond-set bezels, expanding the choice for discerning watch enthusiasts.
