Patek Philippe: Almost Vintage Super Star

Key Points from the Discussion

• The Patek Philippe Nautilus with Roman numerals was initially challenging to sell, often requiring significant discounts from authorized dealers, despite its unique appeal.
• The original author, vicunaman1, notes that his Nautilus is one of only two Nautilus references (including a mid-size version) to feature Roman numerals, making it a distinctive piece within the collection.
• A collector observed that the power reserve indicator on vicunaman1's specific watch appears to be off-center, prompting a discussion about potential variations or characteristics of the reference.
• Another collector corroborates the initial market difficulty, stating that when the watch was released, it was 'difficult to sell and easy to buy (with a nice discount)'.
