Description
-The Story
This watch honors a rich legacy. The original Nautilus (Ref. 3700/1A), designed by Gérald Genta in 1976, was inspired by the portholes of ocean liners, creating the iconic “rounded octagonal” bezel. The 5811/1G-001 continues this by returning to the original’s two-part case construction while adding a sapphire crystal case back. Its production in precious white gold, rather than steel, marks a new chapter, making it a sophisticated evolution of the legendary sports watch.
-How to Care for the Product
Owning this watch means preserving it for the long term. Key care tips include:
-
Regular Cleaning: Use a soft microfiber cloth after each wear. For a deeper clean, gently use a soft toothbrush with lukewarm water and mild soap on the bracelet, then dry with a lint-free cloth.
-
Avoid Abrasives: Never use harsh chemicals, paper towels, or ultrasonic cleaners on the watch, as they can damage its delicate white gold finish.
-
Mind the Bezel: The Nautilus’s polished bezel edge is particularly prone to scratches. Wear it under a soft, clean long sleeve when possible to avoid damage.
-
Professional Servicing: Have your watch serviced by an authorized Patek Philippe service center every 3 to 5 years to ensure its precision and water resistance.
