These discs precisely map the night sky and the celestial movements as observed from Geneva, along with the moon's phases and orbit.

Encased in a distinctive 47mm lug-free design, it comes with a sophisticated black composite strap adorned with an 'X' pattern, priced at CHF 350,000.

Its design is characterized by simplicity, reduced polarization, and a distinctly modern feel, featuring a Calatrava case with a hobnail pattern and a gradient grainy dial. Available in green or blue, it comes with two strap options: a calfskin strap in the corresponding color with a fabric pattern and contrasting beige stitching, and an additional beige calfskin strap with a nubuck finish. The price is set at CHF 225,000.

The Chronograph Perpetual 5270P: A Reimagined Classic with Sporty Sophistication

This poetic timepiece displays hours and minutes on demand, reimagining a treasure from the Patek Philippe Museum – a 1958 pocket watch. A simple press of a pusher ignites a magical scene, bringing Jean de La Fontaine's famous fable, "Le Corbeau et le Renard," to life. Encased in a 43mm rose gold case and complemented by an alligator leather strap, the 5249R is priced at CHF 320,000.

The most surprising of the Nautilus 50th anniversary limited editions is the 958G-001, the first-ever Nautilus pocket watch.
