As always, a very thoughtful post.
I think the 50 year anniversary nautilus pieces are simply perfect. Very thoughtful. Unfortunately it looks like they’ll be even more difficult to obtain at retail than the usual nautilus models. My understanding from speaking to several ADs is that likely each will get about 3-5 watches. So yeah… let’s see if these break 500k on secondary when they bc one out.
The two Nautilus anniversary watches with diamond indices
Of the four references celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Nautilus , two feature diamond hour markers , and one of these two is completely unexpected . Let's take a look ! credit: @ todayonthewrist (desk clock) @benrsimon (wristwatch) A/ NAUTILUS DES...
Thanks for the thorough information, Emmanuel!
I immediately requested the 5810 on strap after presentation and will hopefully get it... While I assume that the most requests will be for the platinum 38mm version, I am a sucker for diamonds on the dial The table clock looks fantastic as well but I pre...
I hope you will be allocated one asap!
It’s a wonderful variant of the Nautilus for me. Quite luxurious of course, but very appealing in many ways. Have a great weekend too. Best, Emmanuel
For different reasons, among which the fact that the Nautilus is only 6.9 mm (vs 7.35 mm),
I would choose the Nautilus. Best, Emmanuel

I immediately liked the desk clock, but would prefer it in a wristwatch.
The 5810 and all other two hand references are to stale lifeless for me. I guess this disqualifies me as a fine gentleman )) Thank you for this detailed presentation!
It's just a matter of personal preference:
I like the 2 hands only, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting a seconds hand (and a date, why not)! Best, Emmanuel
Thank you for sharing
Emmanuel, I really like the 5810G, and would hope for Eurojackpot to get one in the secondhand market. There are no PP AD's in Croatia so no chance to get one.
That's unfortunate, because the price on the secondary market
will likely be very, very high... Well, let's hope for Eurojackpot, then! ;-) Best, Emmanuel
I agree completely but I’m not sure I’m
fully convinced by this specific hybrid design. Still a very nice initiative. Best, Emmanuel
Ok. Thankfully, an effort was made, which is far more than we can say about other manufacturers. Would be great to see more desk and wall clocks being offered.
My wife enjoyed our gold-colored 5110 wall clock for many years. Have heard from many who visited our home how they enjoyed seeing it. Would you like to have a nice wall clock? Surely there's desire, and demand, once one is properly created and the typica...
I like your thoughts on wall and desk clocks!
Let’s hope the brands will hear you. I would personally love to have a PP desk clock, that’s for sure (but not this Nautilus one because the design isn’t really my thing)! Best, Emmanuel
Grail anniversary pieces 👍 So glad that there are 5,100 pieces which is a
LOT more than 40th 💪
Yes, it’s great that the happy few will be a little more numerous
Will you try to score one? If yes, which one (if you can tell)? Best, Emmanuel
That baguette diamond dial is simply gorgeous
Obviously saying it flies under the radar would be exaggerated but I must admit it is stunning, even if the Pt in 38mm would be a perfect addition in my stable too
Both are outstanding, however to me the desk watch is a pocket watch, that is simply named desk for marketing reasons.
Its limitation to 100 pieces and naming make it more attractive to buyers, who don't collect pocket watches at all. The Nautilus on a strap is top! Limitation number is "o.k.", compared to the other two Nautilus of 2.000 pieces: 2.000 is not special enoug...
My guess is that the not-so-limited quantity (2 x 2k + 1k) is destined to avoid massive frustration,
as they know that even if they have decided to shift away from the regular Nautilus (a wise decision, imo), customers still massively crave for this watch. Also, "desk clock" may be a marketing name, but this pocket watch can really stand upright, which i...
I am not a fan of diamonds
the 5810/1G for me.. love the sans date and seconds hand Also I think a nautilus should be on a bracelet
I understand how you feel.
And the 5810/1G is certainly a very nice option! Best, Emmanuel
While I in general am not a fan of diamonds on a watch and while for me a large part of the appeal of Nautilus is the bracelet….
for some reason I am drawn to the 5810G. It is definitely a watch that has piqued my interest. While I am not saying it is my favorite, I find it to be quite appealing, different and unexpected. A watch I need to see in person to see how I strongly (or no...
It seems to be very appealing indeed.
But I'm not a true Nautilus enthusiast, so my taste for this version is very probably linked to my general preference for dress watches... Best, Emmanuel
Hi Emmanuel, the clock is really
great in the metal and the large diamond hour markers are so lovely ! Must be appreciated in person.
Good to know.
Seen on photos the design of this desk clock seems a bit hybrid to me, but I’m happy to hear that it’s great in person! Congratulations to the 100 happy few who will be able to get one. Best, Emmanuel
