Who designed the Patek Philippe Nautilus?
1 Answer
Gérald Genta designed the Patek Philippe Nautilus. The Swiss brand's first sports watch, the Nautilus debuted in 1976.
The celebrated accessory is just one of the myriad watches conceived by the brilliant Swiss watchmaker, who designed some of the most striking timepieces of the 20th century. It featured an integrated steel bracelet, an octagonal bezel with rounded corners and a dial decked out in a horizontal embossed pattern. Genta's relationship with Patek Philippe began with the Golden Ellipse, whose oval case was a stylish departure from the house's more serious, round Calatrava.
