ABOUT THE WATCH
The history of the Patek Philippe Nautilus is closely linked to the history of another iconic timepiece, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, whose creation in 1972 birthed a new category of luxury wristwatches in stainless steel.Following the growing success of the Royal Oak, Patek Philippe decided that it was time to develop their interpretation of an exclusive sport watch in a nonprecious metal, one that could be worn for daily activity.
For Patek Philippe, this new model had a key role in its overall marketing strategy as it had to refresh the brand image while perpetuating the tradition. The target was represented by dynamic business managers of the new generations.
