For 45 years, the Nautilus range has been sitting at the pinnacle of luxury watches worldwide. This iconic model has been meticulously updated by Patek Philippe over the years, with four new designs for men and women ready for release in 2021.<\/h4>\n

When it was launched in 1976, the Nautilus knocked everything out of the park. It was a bold move, which quickly turned out to be a masterful one for this expert watchmaker. The first eyebrow-raiser was the choice of steel for the case, considered almost heresy at the time for a luxury watch. Then there was the octagonal bezel, inspired by boat portholes with smoothed angles, which looked nothing like usual designs. What's more, it was water-resistant to 120 metres, an exceptional feature for a mass market watch. The final revelation was the combination of polished and satin finishes, which highlighted its unique shape and is now a classic. But since it's never a good idea to rest on your laurels, Patek Philippe has regularly brought out new versions of the bestselling sport watch to reflect current taste. Aficionados of the brand will fall in love with these four new Nautilus designs.<\/p>\n
