Overview
The Patek Philippe Nautilus 7118/1A-011 brings the iconic porthole silhouette to a 35.2 mm stainless steel case sized for the ladies' Nautilus line. Its silvery dial is distinguished by the signature horizontal wave embossing and rose-gilt accents, balancing the sportive architecture of the case with an unmistakably refined finish. Calibre 324 S C, a self-winding movement with a date complication, powers the reference.
History
The Nautilus family traces its origins to Gerald Genta's 1976 design for Patek Philippe, conceived as a luxury sports watch in stainless steel at a time when precious-metal dress watches dominated the maison's catalogue. The 7118 line extended the Nautilus proposition to a smaller case diameter suited to a broader range of wearers, and the 7118/1A-011 in stainless steel with a silvery dial has been part of the current collection since 2019. Among collectors, stainless steel Nautilus references have long commanded exceptional attention, and the ladies' 7118 variants are no exception to that sustained interest.
