Patek Philippe

Thank you for posting!!

 

The Patek Philippe releases are somewhat quiet and subtle this year - but the new Nautilus is a solid piece - not overdone, 240 caliber.  Well done.  Bravo.  I really like clocks, and I really like Nautilus - however, that clock wasn't really a Nautilus.  A Nautilus watch by definition has that "hinged" case design - this is a core part of its DNA for the past 50 years and part of its core design.  This clock doesn't really have the hinged case at all - it's just a clock in the shape of a Nautilus - it has ears, but no hinge mechanism within the ears.  I hate to say it, but the clock is missing a core DNA.  The Nautilus watches, the time-only watches you mentioned, as well as the Golden Ellipse are very strong offerings from Patek Philippe!  I look forward to the Grand Exhibition in Milano where we will see even more amazing artistic pieces!  Italians love opera - I am already imagining the Nautilus window as a view from my box to the stage at Teatro Alla Scala.  What's going to be performed?  Madame Butterfly?  Cosi Fan Tutti?  Prince Igor!  Okay, maybe not - since it's not a very Italian opera.
