Patek Philippe Nautilus Annual Calendar Moonphase Review

The maker of this legendary watch, Geral Ganta has inspired several watchmakers and he will continue to do so for the generations to come. When AP Royal Oak was released in 1972, Patek Philippe realized that he needed to hire Ganta so that a new younger generation design for the watch is created. The new generation would be designed in such a way that they are capable to stand the test of the time.

Then, the first Nautilus was released in 1976 and never the things slowed down for the Nautilus. Undoubtedly, it is one of the most sought-after watches on the planet. Let us now dive deep and find out why this is one of the dream watches for watch aficionados.

Philippe Nautilus

The following are the breathtaking features of the watch that perhaps make it the best:

Annual Calendar

Whichever mechanical watch we talk about, the annual calendar is the main attraction in it. These are quite easy to set as the user only needs to adjust the same once in four years due to the leap year. In this very watch, the annual calendar can be adjusted with the recessed micro-pushers found on the side of the case with the help of a pen-shaped tool provided by Patek Phillippe Watches. This calendar uses a dual window for day and month located near the 12 O Clock position. The date is located near 6 O Clock. The watch has a moon phase window as well that lets the user know whether it is the day or night.

Dial

The watch carries a grey radiant dial and what you will notice here is an absolutely clean layout which is both symmetrical and balanced. The depth and dimensions to the dial have been given in a marvelous way. The applique hours markers are visible and luminous.

Case

The most distinguishable feature of Nautilus watch is the octagonal shape of the case that is considered a signature side of the watches from Gerald Ganta. Legends say that the shape of this watch has been given after the shape of a submarine pole.

Bezel

With quite a distinct bezel, the case of the Nautilus comes with unmistakable ears on either side of the case. One side is for the hinge and the other side is given for the closure. One of the most beautiful aspects of the case is the remarkable finishing that applies a fine, unidirectional brushed finish on the case.

Case Back

The reverse side of the case is the real beauty where a sapphire case is placed. This place is nothing but the bearing heart of this horological art.

Movement

This particular watch comes with its 21KT gold, self-winding roto powers and it runs at a steady rate of 28,800 oscillations per hour. The watch showcases 34 jewels and it is equipped with a balance spring with a terminal curve and a magnetic resistant material produced from silicon.
