About this watch
This is the Ladies’ Nautilus, reference 7118/1200R-010: a 35.2 mm case measured across the ten and the four, 8.62 mm high, with the bezel set with small stones all the way round and no plain polished flat left between them. The dial is golden brown opaline carrying the collection’s wave pattern, so the surface breaks into soft lines rather than the squared pattern used higher up the Nautilus range.
The four frames in the gallery answer four different questions. The straight-on frame settles the dial colour, the markers and the date together; the angled frame shows how the wave pattern moves as the light changes; the case-back frame shows the movement through the sapphire; the clasp frame shows how the links fold and how wide the bracelet looks against the small case. What the frames cannot settle — the movement fitted to the offered watch, what its case, bezel and bracelet are actually made from, the bracelet supplied and its water-resistance state — is raised in the conversation rather than stated here.
On the Ladies’ Nautilus the bezel carries most of the visual weight. This reference is specified with 56 brilliant-cut diamonds set right around it and no plain polished flat left between them, so the ring reads as one continuous band above a case that is only 35.2 mm across.
That band changes the whole balance of the watch, and the dial has to hold its own against it: the golden brown opaline surface is embossed and the markers stand proud of it, so both still read past the bright ring. Whether the stones on the watch being offered are diamonds, and how tightly they are held in their settings, is something to establish on the actual piece rather than from a photograph.
The front frame is the one to take the colour from. The dial is golden brown with an opaline finish, and the wave pattern crosses it in soft horizontal lines that catch the light unevenly, so the tone runs paler towards the top of the dial and deeper brown around the edges.
Everything else on the dial is fixed by the reference: an applied 12 at the top, applied markers with luminescent fill at the other hours, alpha-style hour and minute hands, a thin centre seconds hand, and a small rectangular date aperture low in the dial at the six. Lettering sits under the 12, worked into the embossing, and is not legible in the frames supplied.
Only the twelve is written as a numeral. Every other hour is marked with a baton, so the dial has a single figure at the top of the wave pattern and shutters of luminescent fill running round it. The 12 is applied rather than printed, standing slightly above the dial surface, which is why it holds its shape in the angled frame as the light slides off the embossing.
The markers carry the same luminescent coating as the hands, so the dial still reads quickly despite the small case. The metal of the numerals and markers matches the case tone in the photographs. What those parts on an individual watch are actually made from, and how long the coating stays bright, is not something a still image can answer.
The bracelet is integrated: it leaves the case as one piece and steps down through rectangular links, wider where it meets the case and narrowing towards the clasp. In the clasp frame the links are folded over a gloved hand, which is the clearest way to judge how wide the bracelet is against a case this size.
The reference design uses a patented fold-over clasp with a lockable adjustment, so the length can be set without taking links out. How many links are fitted to the watch being offered, whether spare links come with it, and how much adjustment the clasp on that watch actually gives, all have to be answered for the piece itself.
The case-back frame shows a movement through a clear back: bridges, screw heads and the weight of the winding mechanism are visible, and the back sits inside the case rim with the bracelet passing behind it. The sapphire back is part of the reference design, and the case measures 8.62 mm high.
Patek Philippe’s own data for the 7118/1200R-010 specifies a self-winding calibre 26-330 S C with the date in an aperture, sweep seconds and a power reserve of 35 to 45 hours. Whether the movement inside the watch being offered is that calibre, and what the parts seen through this particular back are made from, are questions for the supplier rather than conclusions from a photograph.
The difference is not only in size. The larger Nautilus cases are shown with a squared pattern on the dial, while this one is opaline and embossed with waves. The case is also measured across the ten and the four instead of straight across, so the 35.2 mm figure does not sit directly against the diameters quoted for the bigger cases.
The bezel settles the other half of the comparison. Here the stones are set all the way round with no polished flat left between them, so the ring, not the case, is what the eye meets first. Choosing between the two sizes is a question of how much of the bezel you want to read and how much case you want on the wrist, not of one being a reduced copy of the other.
