Patek Philippe, highly sought-after Jumbo Nautilus gentleman's watch, 1979. Stainless steel. D 40 mm. Certificate: 3700/1 Provenance: 537212, slim stainless-steel monocoque case with additional screw-down bezel Exhibited: Well-preserved Sigma dial with tritium luminous material Exhibited: Fine automatic movement no. 1306455, cal. 28-255C, 36 jewels Literature: Stainless-steel bracelet with Patek Philippe double-folding clasp, wrist circumference approx. 18.5 cm. Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives and overhaul invoice from 2024 What caused a stir in the watch world 50 years ago has since become an icon: Patek Philippe's sporty, elegant Nautilus. A steel watch did not fit the stereotype of gold luxury watches – particularly one of such striking size and unusual shape. Patek Philippe's aim was to appeal to a new generation of active, sporty people. The watch's launch was supported by an equally original and audacious advertising campaign: ‘One of the world's most expensive watches is made of steel!’ was the headline of an attention-grabbing advertisement. The Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirms manufacture in 1979 and subsequent sale on 1 March 1979.
