Basel 2008: Patek Philippe Ref. 5713/1G Nautilus Watch

The Patek Philippe Ref. 5713/1G watch enriches the casually elegant Nautilus collection with a magnificent diamond-setting.  Featuring a 40mm case and integral bracelet crafted from 18K white gold, this Nautilus timepiece showcases a bezel which is set with 48 round brilliant-cut diamonds.  The black-blue shaded dial with its broad horizontal line decoration reflects the classic design that has come to define the Nautilus since its debut in 1976.  Bold luminous indications on the hour markers and hands enhance the legibility of the watch under any lighting condition, emphasizing the sporty nature of the design.  Also sports worthy is the water resistance of this model, which is rated at 120 meters.  

The Patek Philippe Ref. 5713/1G Nautilus watch is animated by the 324 SC caliber, a self-winding movement produced by Patek Philippe.  It is comprised of 213 hand-finished components, including a 21K gold central winding mass.  The freely-sprung Gyromax balance pulses 28,800 times per hour, and offers excellent precision performance and positional stability.  At full tension, the barrel offers a 45-hour power reserve.  Crafted and decorated in accordance with the strict demands laid down by the Canton of Geneva for movements of the highest traditional quality, the Caliber 324 SC has earned the Geneva Seal.
