Patek Philippe Nautilus 50th Anniversary Editions

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.

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."

The model 5810/1G-001 is equipped with a white gold bracelet. The release is limited to a series of 2000 pieces. The estimated price is CHF 75,000. 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.

A model similar to the previous two, with the difference that the case here is more compact and made of platinum. The case dimensions are 38 x 6.90 mm. Inside is the same caliber 240. The platinum case is hinted at by the diamond located at the "9 o'clock" mark.

The watch is supplied with a platinum bracelet. The release is limited to a series of 2000 pieces. The estimated price of the model is CHF 90,000.

The entire trio comes in a stylish cork box, reminiscent of the original box of the first Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 3700 series.

Patek Philippe's first-ever pocket watch also features a white gold case, retaining all the features of the iconic Nautilus model. The case diameter is 50.65 mm. The blue dial with horizontal embossing is equipped with hour markers in the form of baguette-cut diamonds. The case back has a blue embossing with a gold Calatrava cross applique.

Under the lid, the inscription "50th Anniversary Nautilus 1976 – 2026 Patek Philippe" is engraved. The watch is equipped with a beautifully finished manual movement 31-505 8J PS IRM CI J, which, thanks to 2 mainspring barrels, provides a power reserve of up to 8 days. In addition to hour and minute indication, the movement supports a pointer date display, as well as seconds (small second hand), day of the week, and power reserve indication.

This model is limited to a series of 100 pieces. The novelty is delivered without a chain, but the case construction allows the pocket watch to be transformed into a desk clock. The estimated price of the model is CHF 205,000.
