Nautilus
When it was launched in 1976, the Patek Philippe Nautilus broke the prevailing rules of Haute Horlogerie with its steel case, octagonal bezel, porthole-inspired construction and horizontal embossed dial design by Gérald Genta. With its robust case, which is waterproof to a depth of 120 meters, its unmistakable design and state-of-the-art mechanics, it became one of the most sought-after watches from this traditional brand. Whether in its original look with a blue dial and cool stainless steel or with a harmonious brown dial and rose gold case, as a chronograph, GMT or an annual calendar, the Patek Philippe Nautilus is an expressive statement whatever design is choosen.
Complications
Patek Philippe is highly renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship and infamous work inventing numerous intricate complications, so it's no wonder why they offer one of the most impressive watch suites of all time, the Patek Philippe Complications collection. By definition, a watch complication is anything a watch does beyond telling the date and time. For example, the Patek Philippe Complications is particularly known for complications like annual calendars, dual time zones, world time displays, moon phase indicators, and flyback chronographs. Because of the brand's mastery in all things complex, this collection's models typically have two or three complications per watch.
Grand Complications
At the pinnacle of expert watchmaking, the Patek Philippe Grand Complications collection is world renowned and recognized not only as a status symbol, but a heirloom-quality timepiece. The Patek Philippe Grand Complications is a family of watches like no other, housing several horological complications and masterpieces like the luxury brand's hallmark perpetual calendars, as well as tourbillons and minute repeaters. Boasting a range of timepieces that capture the essence of elite craftsmanship and design, these watches are a homage to Patek Philippe's mastery in technical precision and aesthetic prowess. Today, the collection boasts more than 30 models and available in a variety of materials, functions, and styles.
Aquanaut
Launched in 1997, and celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2022, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut was designed for a younger, more modern generation. It's no secret that the Aquanaut is heavily influenced by the Nautilus, although it was not designed by legend Gérald Genta. At the time of the launch, the large Arabic numerals filled with lume were striking and stood out from other models. Another first for Patek Philippe was the addition of the rubber strap, for which it took more than a year to develop and test. From the beginning, the strap pattern has matched the dial pattern, creating a sense of continuity between the two.
Calatrava
The Calatrava models represent everything that Patek Philippe is none for. The timeless design of the Calatrava is inspired by the fundamental idea brought to the world by the famous Bauhaus school of design: ""form follows function"". While always keeping within the bracing paradigm of its elegant, minimalist philosophy, the Calatrava brimmed with many aesthetically differentiating details through the decades, from dial styles to case sizes. But equally, the movements as well as the order of priorities in designing them have evolved and shifted tremendously. Notably, for Patek Philippe, these pursuits were achieved while maintaining a high degree of care in construction and an exceptionally refined aesthetic that has shaped the conception of a dress watch movement as we know today.
