Patek has created one titanium Nautilus earlier.
But that was an unique piece made for charity auction.
I do not believe that we can expect new Nautilus with a case made of some of these new materials. That would be very non-Patek and probably many of the conservative loyal clients would lift their eyebrows. Let me say that I belong to those old farts.
I do not believe that Nautilus is the right platform for a split second mono pusher chronograph. Furthermore, this complication is nice in a MW watch. However, a simple mono pusher chronograph would be very interesting and I guess that using the movement of 5980, such a movement could be made. A mono pusher would not violate the original shape of Nautilus and thus, it could be a perfect new sportive Nautilus.
Best, Kari
PP Nautilus - sporting elegance or even more?
The original one (Ref. 3700) was a two hands and date only watch, but today there are several complicated pieces and even diamonds are available. The first one was puristic yet sophisticated. The current models are kind of different, at least in my book. ...
Would you like to see it ...
with an existing movement or a completely new "bigger & more sporty" one?
Are you still talking about Patek Philippe?
I have my serious doubts that we will see something like this, a grand complication in the Nautilus case. It is just not their style! Cheers, Oliver
I know... where do you expect the Nautilus to go next?
Or do we think the collection is complete? Saw a 5990 yesterday and it was pretty nice. Quite a different beast to the 5980.
Iterations, variations ...
is what comes to my mind. I don´t think there is a need for a BIG change. Still I could imagine some work in the details and maybe something (technically) new, with maybe a simple/small complication. The Nautilus collection seems to be very popular and su...
12 cylinder engine...
I would certainly be on board for a 12 cylinder engine Nautilus Oliver! I think it is time to see something completely new and highly sophisticated based on technologies inside/movement. I really do hope we see something. A well executed simple complicati...
No special wishes in fact...
My Nautilus is a 5726 on leather strap, which I think it is not the most beloved model here but I'm very happy with it. Any new Nautilus model will be welcome if it respects the way I consider the Nautilus range : - half ''vintage'' and half modern, : The...
Have to agree...
I do not feel that the Nautilus should be thin... it is a sports watch afterall. I too struggle with the 5990 for its 2 pushers on the left side as it takes away the hinges that recall a porthole aesthetic. I definitely would like to see the Oscillomax in...
+1
A perpetual calendar Nautilus with 240Q. I quite like the 5990 case dimensions and aesthetic so I do not personally have a problem if the Nautilius designs to come in 2015/2016 are slightly larger. Hopefully some nice surprises are to come at Basel 2015 a...
"with 240Q" - A more traditional layout ...
would that fit? Something based on the caliber 324, with a retrograde date hand could be more appropriate for a Nautilus.
Maybe the best Patek from the collection to me
I agree with you when you say "even more" as it is a "yes" answer to me. The Nautilus mixes elegance in a very special way. It is, to me, an elegant watch before being a sport watch. To be worn with any outfit, even suites. It brings something that other ...
Mark, I agree with you.
One important feature of Nautilus is its slimness. A perpetual calendar Nautilus with 240Q would be cool. But so would a basic 40 years anniversary Nautilus with 260 movement, without second hand and solid back. In both cases slim bracelet and water resis...
True
A very thin and pure 2 hands Nautilus with a 260 caliber would be a very special and appealing piece indeed (with a see through caseback though for me). I hope this won't happen :p Cheers, Mark
I hope the same.
It's much easier if my 5711 remains the Basic Nautilus - I do not want to acquire another. But if such watch would appear, what can I do? With my 3712 I had much better luck. It's replacing nicely 5712 and no need to expand to that one. Best, Kari
Mark, I can follow your personal thoughts here ...
"My favorite Nautiluses have a bracelet and remain thin." and parts of me agree with you. Still I hava a serious weakness for 5980 and 5990 :-) A Tourbillon or Minute Repeater inside a Nautilus, I would (almost) bet that we will never see them. Even a Per...
That would be good news Oliver...
as this watch doesn't need too much in terms of complications. Cheers, Mark
Dear Oliver, you are posisoning me with the
5711 !! Ah...I have another artisan dial from another brand in mind !! Out of budget !! Thanks for the post for the provocative post !! Cheers, Gordon
I'm trying to get used to my new 5711
but at the moment I see it just a strong contender to 15202. Best, Kari
My dear Gordon ...
all I can say here: A simple but sophisticated 5711 would suit you. Side note: Don´t call it poison. It is more like a medicine against highly sophisticated pieces, only :-) Oliver
I will add one that is missing,
5711R. I was very fortunate to get this when it was just released. It is very comfortable and thin to wear Best Joe ...
I've never considered a rg PP myself...
...but that is indeed a nice Nautilus wrist shot! Nice fabrics! Sam.
all gold?
I do not recall seeing that one come. Is it on a bracelet? Really stunning. I would love one of those.
No on brown strap with counter RG stitch
All RG Interestingly, I was at a factory visit with a group of enthusiasts in Geneva last week, and one wore his 5980 RG strap piece. The dial of that watch is more brown than my piece which is more grayish than brown. Very nice differences.
Wow, it looks ...
amazing together with your shirt and jacket. Maybe for some it is not THE ICON Nautilus (they have in mind) anymore, but for sure it has lots of class and style. Unfortunately I never had the pleasure to try it on my wrist :-( My wardrobe is mainly based ...
Thanks. I am really like you. Wardrobe is black blue and gray but
Every now and then a little change up! I do like to wear this watch with all black, like a turtleneck and black trousers. Add some brown suede shoes and the watch and voila! This was my second nautilus with the 5980 being the first. I originally thought a...
5990.
I love this reference, and the 5980 only slightly less. To me, these are the only complications that make sense on a watch that is, although certainly elegant, really a sport watch in its essence.
nautilus in platinum
consider yourself a breed apart in nautilus watch owners. handsome watch. best geross
LOL, but I was aware of this ...
and therefore I wrote " I know, there are still some missing ". Simply because I didn´t have appropriate pictures of the missing ones, taken by me. It´s all about "Shades Of Grey" at the moment, but who cares if you have that kind of shades of blue :-) Ch...
masculine , sporting elegance. the nautilus line
very crisp & nice pictures oliver. thank you for showing us the many facets of the nautilus line. cheers geross
My pleasure geross, but ...
do you like the collection on a female wrist as well? Oliver
if its a 38mm nautilus it can fit a female wrist
the all covered nautilus with diamonds would fit a female but its gotta be smaller in diameter. just my opinion. cheers oliver geross
38mm is possible ...
if we think about the Ref. 5800. (5800 vs 5711) Ref. 7021, with lots of diamonds and 33.6mm diameter Ref. 7014/1 with diamonds and 33.5mm diameter Ref. 7018/1 with 50 diamonds on the bezel and 33.6mm diameter Almost everything is possible to get, but not ...
Sure it is ...
and I should not write about 3700 and looking at the 5711 at the same time :-) Thanks! Oliver
no worries
Oliver you do a great job in all your posts. It's easy to get distracted when you are surrounded by similar cases and tiny details tend to escape from time to time. Even the best hunter misses a shot sometimes. Have a great day. J.
5726R
Please please 5726R. Nautilus with black dial, black strap and complication in Rose Gold. Would also love to see 5164R (outside Nautilus line I know but still….)!
Old and younger farts alike...
One of the things that attracted me to the brand was the classical sense of style and conservative changes to cases (yet radical changes in the dials). I find myself in strong agreement with Kari. I wondered for a few years about a perpetual movement in t...
5980C
how about a 5980/C or 5164/C? C for forged carbon. Or for ceramic perhaps. Ideally a black dial (and limited skeleton dial as well!) with black subdial and inverted date (white font on black background). And new tropical strap in same material as currentl...
Now that makes my
Split-seconds monopusher chronograph Nautilus request pretty tame! ;) I would love to see a monopusher chronograph Nautilus.
Monopulsante
i am with that, let's call it 5989/C. Ceramic or carbon case, ceramic bezel, no date necessary but possibly with white font on black background, monopusher split second chronograph in dial layout similar to 5960A, rubber strap in Aquanaut strap material b...
Even when it might be interesting ...
I can´t imagine to see something like this from Patek. Will PP follow that "C" trend in cases? I don´t think so, but know nothing about :-) Thanks! Oliver
I don't necessarily want to see any 'C' type case
but would love a PP Nautilus monopusher split second chronograph. While everyone is quick to say what PP will not do with the Nautilus.... what will they do for the 40th and at Basel 2015? Has the collection reached 'retirement'?
"... retirement ..."
For sure, not! Please see also my reply above, about my 2-cents :-) Oliver
5726T?
5726T then? Titanium case would be interesting. Perhaps even with ADLC treatment...
Patek has created one titanium Nautilus earlier.
But that was an unique piece made for charity auction. I do not believe that we can expect new Nautilus with a case made of some of these new materials. That would be very non-Patek and probably many of the conservative loyal clients would lift their eyeb...
A simple monopusher Nautilus would be welcome
and make a very nice new sportive Nautilus. Let's not forget the Nautilus is PP only 'sport' watch so lets make it one ;) It would not effect the DNA of the Nautilus at all IMVHO. I hope they do it and yes, the 5980 movement could work!
5396T-010
not a Nautilus but a T coming up for grabs at auction March 9th. Piece unique 5396T-010 for charity.... Looks amazing (wish dial been black or salmon) but far beyond my reach anyhow!!!
RE: 5726R or Blue dial
I love to see if 5726 R or 5990R with black or blue dial. I don't think Patek can or should made any material beside gold, steel and platinum probably a platinum 5726 with special blue. If something new for Nautilus line i wish they can give nautilus a ne...
A manual wind Nautilus ...
would that work if it has to be (seriously) waterproof?! Cheers, Oliver
I would like to see...
An hour/minute model with the caliber 240 inside it, without center seconds hand, thinner than the actual 5711 and with a solid case back in a two parts scheme. :-) The perfect son of the iconic ref. 3700. I know, i like to dream.... Regards
Steel for Me
I'll probably upset people with this comment ... but I'm really not trying to be contrary. It's my opinion that Nautilus references should be cased in steel. I think that was the original idea?
The fist Nautilus...
...I was offered was a two-tone in a Miami jewelry in 1992 or thereabouts. The price then: $6,000. I didn’t like it then, I don’t like it now. I find it simple, flat, boring. I wonder about the mental health of those who are crazy about the watch just bec...
...is there something you would like to see in Basel 2020...?
1. I would like the size of the 5711 be increased by 0.5 to 1.0 mm, while keeping the proportions. Even on my 17.5 cm wrist my 5711J sometimes looks a tad small. I quite like the size (not thickness) of the 5726. I also liked the 5726 with the white/silve...
Get ready
Some nautilus references will surely be discontinued and I will venture a wild guess also. 5711A will also be discontinued, both blue and white dial and a new reference, with larger case size and no seconds hand will replace it. The new 3700!
I always had a weak spot for the 5712G.
I think the Nautilus looks sweet on a strap, too! My fave Nautilus today is the 5740. Beautiful aesthetics, thin case, no pushers... the best one imho. What I really don't like is the models with pushers of any kind. Ruins the distinctive case lines, and ...
5576/1A with 200 meter water test...
the 44mm would be a beast and I know MANY people would dump their ROO for it. -Dean
