The Patek Philippe Nautilus is one of the most sought-after sporty and elegant watches by collectors all over the world, created in 1976, from the mind of the brilliant master watchmaker Gerald Genta. Its peculiar design was probably inspired by the shape of the portholes of the Nautilus, the fantastic submarine that accompanies the adventures of Captain Nemo, the famous character from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, one of the greatest novels by Jules Verne, first published in 1870.The first Nautilus, dubbed Jumbo because of its size (42 mm wide) and water-resistant to 60 metres, was a sporty yet elegant watch, resolutely robust and water-resistant thanks to a particularly refined steel construction. Its inimitable design still makes it one of the most important investment timepieces on the national and international market.
