Fresh from the Showcase here at SwissWatchExpo, we are talking about a couple of fantastic
ladies watches from Patek Philippe. These are the Nautilus Ladies watch reference 7010
and we just love these watches. When you look at the Patek Philippe Nautilus is probably the most
desirable watch. There is in the watch world right now that name Nautilus just evokes so much emotion
from people. They immediately crave this watch. And as soon as we put one up on the website,
it gets lots of attention. You're probably more familiar with the Nautilus reference
5711 and 5712, but this one would be such a great addition to a woman's watch collection
because it's a good size at 32 millimeter. When you look at the history of the Nautilus, it was
designed in the 1970s by the renowned designer, Gérald Genta, who had previously just done the
Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet a couple of years earlier.
And the idea behind both of these watches was that you could have a sporty watch that had
the same kind of fine materials, craftsmanship, and finishing as the higher end watches. Though
that is definitely what you see with these, if you think about the ladies dress watches
of yesteryear, they were really tiny. They were often on really tiny bracelets. So they looked
like a piece of jewelry that happened to tell time. These are more of a midsize. They're 32
millimeters square, and it's definitely a watch that a woman could wear on a day-to-day basis.
You're wearing a really fine piece of watchmaking in a beautiful piece of jewelry, but because it's
on a leather strap and because of the size that it is, it tones it down a bit. It makes
it a little bit more casual wear you could wear it every day and not worry about it.
All the watches here are reference 7010 and in keeping with the Patek Phillipe naming
conventions, the white gold one is 7010G, which stands for the French word that means white
and the Rosegold one on the right is a 7010R, which is what all of the Rosegold,
Patek Philippe watches are listed as if you ever found a yellow gold one. It would be 7010J again,
the French word for yellow. So that's what those letters mean. If you've ever wondered about Patek
Philippe and how they're naming nomenclature works, but these watches, they have this
classic Nautilus look with this sort of softened rounded octagon for the bezel.
It doesn't have the big bolt heads showing through that you see on the Royal Oak.
So it's a little more sophisticated looking a little more feminine. They're also a lot
thinner when you look at the side view, compare that to a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.
It's a much thinner watch, easier to wear on a day-to-day basis and just beautiful.
The dials on these are both considered an open lane, silver dial they're handmade, just like
everything at Patek Philippe is absolutely gorgeous. The diamond work that they do, you
can see me here in the video that the amount of scintillation and sparkle that you see from these
is just really, really beautiful. It's something that any woman would appreciate on a day-to-day
basis. They're each set with 46 diamonds. They total about three quarters of a karat and Patek
Philippe is different from some of the other watch companies out there. They actually tell you what
the quality grade of their diamonds is. They're full cut 58 facet diamonds. They're beautifully
set that they're D through G color. So they're colorless to the top of near colorless, but they
insist on using I F, which is internally flawless diamonds, really incredible that they do that.
They use that level. These watches are both quartz movements. And one of the things I really like
about them is the buckle you can see here. It actually says Nautilus on the buckle, and it's a
double deployant. So when you open it up, it folds open. The wear of opening and closing it is on the
gold and not on the leather. So it'll make yare straps last a lot longer. It also removes that
sort of ugly part of the strap going through the buckle that you see on a traditional Tang buckle
so that you don't see that where a much better design either one of these would be a beautiful
addition for any lady. If you notice on the dial, they are interesting compared to more dressy
watches. These shows that they are a little more sport oriented, the hands are filled with loom.
And so are the hour markers, it's a little more prominent on the white gold one because
they're sort of outlined in black, but on the yellow gold, I'm sorry, Rosegold one here,
you can see that the markers in the hands are Rosegold filled with loom. It's a little
bit softer look than on the white gold one where it's a little bit more high contrast,
but if there's any sort of legibility issues, the white gold one will really give a
high contrast and easy, easy to read. Either one would be a great choice. We've got them
