TimeForArt Auction Spotlight: Gerald Charles x Igor Mitoraj Luci di Nara
Collecting Patek Philippe and Nautilus
These 3 volumes represent the most complete work ever realized on Patek Philippe. They include more than 2000 Patek Philippe wristwatches, everyone photographed in natural colors and more than 500 full page images.
The first two volumes show Patek Philippe wristwatches from their creation to 2003 and the third one is divided into two parts: one is about all the creations from 2004 to 2010 and the other one, larger and prevalent, is entirely dedicated to NAUTILUS models.
This model was designed in 1972 by Geral Genta and it was born from a sketch on a napkin in a Basel restaurant. This book explains all its characteristics and goes through its evolution from 1976.
