It occupies an extraordinary position in the watch marketplace as the only annual calendar Nautilus ever produced in stainless steel with a white dial. The white dial variant is particularly scarce compared to its blue and black counterparts, making it highly coveted among collectors seeking differentiation.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. The foundation of the dial features a silvery-white opaline finish with Patek Philippe’s signature horizontal embossed grooves, creating subtle texture that captures light dynamically throughout the day. The bezel’s rounded corners soften the geometric shape, creating the distinctive “porthole” profile that defines Nautilus design language. The legendary Nautilus bracelet flows seamlessly from the case lugs through seventeen tapered links.
Functions include hours, minutes, month and day display, date display, and moon phase. The screw-out crown on the right side can adjust the minute and hour hands. The bottom left pusher will change the moon phase, the top left pusher changes the day of the week, the top right changes the month, and the bottom right pusher changes the date.
Comes as a full set, double-boxed with a watch pillow, Patek Philippe binder containing the certificate of origin, and pusher tool.
This Nautilus deserves consideration from collectors who appreciate the intersection of design heritage, mechanical achievement, and increasing scarcity. For the collector seeking one truly exceptional sports watch combining pedigree, complexity, versatility, and appreciation potential, this watch represents an uncompromising choice worthy of lifetime ownership.
