Patek Philippe Nautilus Joaillerie Ref. 7118/1300R-001

Patek Philippe reinterprets the iconic design of the ladies’ Nautilus in a new jewelry version in which rose gold is elegantly and uniquely combined with the brilliance of spessartites – gemstones belonging to the garnet family and featuring various warm, luminous shades.

The octagonal bezel with softened angles is adorned with a row of 68 baguette-cut spessartites (2.04 cts) composing a double color gradient ranging from ‘cognac’ tones at 12 and 6 o'clock to ‘champagne’ shades at 9 and 3 o'clock. A dynamic touch endowing this precious creation with a resolutely modern style.

The dial completes this chromatic harmony with eleven ogival-shaped cognac-colored spessartite hour markers (0.34 ct) standing out against the rose-gilt dial with the “waves” pattern typical of ladies’ Nautilus models. Brown lacquered varnished rose gold alpha-style hands enhance legibility – a key requirement for Patek Philippe, even on a jewelry watch. A rose gold aperture frame highlights the date display at 6 o'clock. The 35.2mm-diameter case is water-resistant to 60m. Its iconic porthole-inspired design and the beveled bezel are enhanced by the contrast between polished and satin finishes, hand-crafted by the artisans of the Manufacture.

The integrated rose gold bracelet also features polished center links as well as side links that are satin-finished on top and polished on the sides. It is equipped with a Patek Philippe patented fold-over clasp secured by four independent catches.

Self-winding 324 S C caliber with its refined finishing is visible through a transparent sapphire case back.

The new Reference 7118/1300R-001 joins the ladies’ Nautilus self-winding models with brilliant-cut diamond-set bezels: Reference 7118/1200R-001 (with silvery opaline dial) and Reference 7118/1200R-010 (with rose-gilt opaline dial).
