The **Nautilus** is a sports watch by [[Patek Philippe]].

===== History =====
This legendary sports watch by [[Patek Philippe]], designed by the famous watches designer [[Genta, Gérald Charles|Gérald Genta]], in [[1976]] excited by its combination of luxury and [[stainless steel]]. Its design is inspired by the shape of ship portholes. A smaller [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 4700|"Nautilus for Ladies," Ref. 4700]] appeared in [[1980]], now with a simple no-date or seconds quartz [[E 19|Cal. E 19 C]]. The following year, the 37.5 mm [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800|Midsize "La Classique" Ref. 3800]] was added with the automatic [[PP 335|Cal. 335 S C]]. A tiny 33 mm quartz model, the so-called [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 3900|"Boy Sized" Ref. 3900]], came in [[1984]] with [[E 23/51|Cal. E 23/51]].

In [[1996]], Patek Philippe sought to replace the Nautilus with a new model, the [[Patek Philippe Neptune|Neptune]], and introduced the less-expensive limited-edition [[Patek Philippe Aquanaut|Aquanaut]] as a companion model. The Aquanaut sold well enough to warrant a full production model but the Neptune was not as well received and did not last more than a single generation. Instead, Patek Philippe launched a redesigned Nautilus in [[1997]], the new [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 5060|Ref. 5060]] with a case of 43 mm diameter, one millimeter more than the original model of [[1976]]. The new three-part case had a screwed caseback with [[sapphire crystal]] window and a [[screw-in crown]]. It was [[waterproof]] up to 120 m and was, for the first time, available on a leather strap. As movement the [[self-winding]] [[manufacture]] movement [[PP 324 SC]] was used. The dial displayed hour, minute, [[central seconds]] and date. A [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 3710|"Jumbo" Power Reserve model, Ref. 3710]] appeared the following year with a 42 mm case and [[PP 330|Cal. 330 S C]].

In [[2006]], Patek Philippe ceased production of all previous Nautilus models and introduced an entirely new lineup, including [[complicated]] models for the first time. These returned to the "hinged" case originally designed by Genta, but with new details. The Nautilus became a "must-have" model in the 2010s, with the [[Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711|steel Ref. 5711]] selling for three times retail by [[2020]]. In [[2021]], Patek Philippe surprised the world by announcing that the model would be withdrawn, with no replacement offered.
