Patek Philippe

To a watch savant, the word Nautilus has only one meaning... But do we even remember what a Nautilus is? Outside of the watch context? I think of the submarine captained by Captain Nemo in the famous Jules Verne classic. FYI. The first nuclear powered sub...  

for Anthony to get an even bigger aquarium :-) Cheers, Oliver

They're attractive, and they bob up and down when they swim making them somewhat amusing to watch. Would make a nice pet for Anthony!

When I hear Nautilus I think... 1. The watch. 2. The submarine. ...and sometimes... 3. The marine animal. The actual definition is commonly forgotten for me.

Nice reminder!

Great idea to link Pateks Nautilus to all the other ones and bringing them into our mind with a very atmospheric picture. Moritz

I miss my nautilus and will wear it soon :) Recently due to the hotness of the JLC Geophysic, I also related the nautilus to the Geophysic due to the USS Nautilus submariner Cheers Robin

in 2012 for the Year of the Dragon Think it just came out for a recent auction Wonder how it did ??

I don't want to know about how much this watch went for at auction. It's probably a terribly high number. The watch is a very formal party watch. You can't wear that to the office unless you're some movie/music star.

a collection of diamonds that happens to be housed in Nautilus case and bracelet !!

It is just a piece of art with diamonds that happens to use the Nautilus as its canvas. In the future, the museum will look like this: Collection of jewels arranged in the shape of a dragon, dragon itself in enamel glass. Celebrating the spirituality of t... 

...I don't think it would even look good on Mrs E. That piece certainly is remarkable - extraordinary! I do wonder how it came to be. Scene: PP's offices, one morning in Switzerland in 2011... "Good morning, Mr. Stern. How are you today?" "Very well, than...
