First Look: Patek Philippe 40th Anniversary Limited Edition Nautilus Watches

By Roberta Naas This year marks the 40th anniversary of one of Patek Philippe’s most iconic timepieces: Nautilus. First unveiled to the world in 1976, the watch (Ref. 3700/A) made history for a number of reasons, not the least of which was the fact that it was built in stainless steel – making it one of the first luxury watches in steel. Now, in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Nautilus, Patek Philippe unveils two tribute pieces.

Introducing – Patek Philippe Nautilus 40th Anniversary Editions, including Platinum 3-hand 5711/1P and WG Chronograph 5976/1G (with price)

40 years ago, Patek Philippe introduced a watch that has become an icon over the past 4 decades. This watch was designed by the legendary watch-designer Gerald Genta.
