Premier regard: Montres Nautilus à édition limitée Patek Philippe 40th Anniversary

Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711 1A Montre 40ème anniversaire en platine

Cette année marque le 40ème anniversaire de l'une des pièces les plus emblématiques de Patek Philippe: Nautilus. D'abord dévoilé au monde en 1976, la montre (Réf. 3700 / A) a fait l'histoire pour un certain nombre de raisons, dont le moins a été le fait qu'il a été construit en acier inoxydable - ce qui en fait l'une des premières montres de luxe en acier. Maintenant, en l'honneur du 40ème anniversaire du Nautilus, Patek Philippe dévoile deux pièces d'hommage.

Comme le tout premier Nautilus, qui a comporté deux crêtes d'extension de cas pour ressembler à des charnières et s'inspirant des hublots de bord de mer qui pourraient être scellés, les nouvelles montres d'anniversaire Nautilus présentent des nervures latérales audacieuses et une élégance élégante avec une fonction sportive.

L'original Nautilus de 1976 (réf. 3700) a été fabriqué en acier.

The new Nautilus Ref. 5711/1P with stunning blue dial is being offered in a limited edition of just 700 pieces in platinum, each retailing for $113,440. The 44mm watch features a flawless rare white Top Wesselton diamond set into the bezel above the lugs at 6:00. The watch features a rich blue dial – made in 18-karat gold with a graduated bright/dark pattern starting from the center and moving toward the case. The 12 applied baton hour markers are also crafted in 18-karat white gold. Nestled discreetly on the dial is an anniversary notation: “40” and beneath that “1976-2016.“

The watch is powered by the brand’s self-winding caliber 324 S C movement with 21-karat gold central rotor. In typical Patek Philippe style, the movement consists of a host of high-tech materials, including the proprietary Patek Philippe inventions: the Gyromax® balance with Spiromax® balance spring. Every part is finished by hand with circular graining and Geneva stripes. The movement is visible via a sapphire caseback. The watch is sold in a 40th anniversary cork box with polished stainless steel frames for the base and hinged cover to recall the first Nautilus.

Both Nautilus watches bear inscriptions referring to the anniversary: “40, 1976-2016″

The second watch, the Nautilus Chronograph, Ref. 5976 /1G, is being made in a bit larger edition of 1,300 pieces, each retailing for $96,390. The generously sized 49.25mm watch is crafted in 18-karat white gold and features a self-winding flyback chronograph. This watch is powered by the CH 28-520 C automatic movement with start/stop and flyback/reset chronograph functions. The high-tech movement features the patented Spiromax® balance spring made of Silinvar® and is antimagnetic, corrosion resistant and is highly precise – with a rate tolerance of -3 to +2 seconds per day.

The Patek Philippe 40th anniversary Ref. 5976 in white gold is a flyback chronograph.

The 327-part movement has been finely finished by hand and is visible via a transparent caseback. The stunning blue dial features applied hour markers of flawless Top Wesselton baguette and princess-cut diamonds. This anniversary watch also carries the 40th notation on the dial, and is also sold in the commemorative cork box.
