Patek Philippe Nautilus 50th Anniversary models

This year, Patek Philippe celebrates the 50th anniversary of the iconic Nautilus watches. As expected, the anniversary was marked with special new releases. This includes 3 limited edition models dedicated to the distinctive features of the Nautilus model, powered by the legendary ultra-thin caliber 240. Standing apart in this series is an elegant pocket watch, the first of its kind from Patek Philippe. But let's start at the beginning.

Patek Philippe Nautilus 50th Anniversary 5810/1G-001 and 5810G-001

Patek Philippe Nautilus 50th Anniversary 5810/1G-001 watch

Two models in white gold cases with no extra features. On the austere blue dial with horizontal embossing, only the hour and minute hands are visible. Thanks to the use of caliber 240, distinguished by its micro-rotor, the case is only 6.9 mm thick despite a diameter of 41 mm. The movement can be viewed through the case's back. The gold micro-rotor is engraved with the inscription "50 1976 – 2026."

Model 5810G-001, in addition to a blue composite strap, differs from model 5810/1G-001 in having diamonds instead of hour markers. This release is limited to a series of 1000 pieces. The estimated price is CHF 60,000.
