Kris Aquino Wears Patek Philippe, the Legendary Nautilus

Kris Aquino is wearing Patek Philippe Ref 7010/1 R Rose Gold Nautilus. That is a kind of watch for President's sister!

Gerald Genta and Nautilus

Gerald Genta, who created such opuses as AP Royal Oak, Ingenieur SL, Vacheron Constantin 222 and many other unique models.

Collaboration with Patek Philippe started with a meeting in a hotel restaurant at Basel World in 1972. Henry and Philippe Shtern were so much interested what made Genta to create the Royal Oak. Gerald had a  consideration of creating  smooth and round lines resembling sea waves as he considered the favourite sports skiing and Sailing of Philippe Shtern.

Gerald drew a script of a watch prototype on the restaurant napkin by a pencil. Genta took home and forgot where was it for some months.

Later Gerald remembered about an unclaimed sketch when Piaget made a offer to him to design thin sport watch for their new extra-thin movement. Immediately Gerald presented the script of “Nautilus” to Piaget company. However Piaget was not ready to approve release such an innovative watch design. Or if Piaget would accept Gerald's design Patek Philippe wouldn't have any Nautilus watch anymore!

At 1974 BaselWorld exhibition Gerald Genta visited an agent of Patek Philippe Mr. Fiollette in the United Arabian Emirates. Mr, Fiollette asked Genta if he could offer him some elegant sport watches. As a coincidence the napkin with a sketch was found in Genta's pocket! And in 1976, Patek Philippe released a new watch “Nautilus!”

That was Nautilus watch of 70s. Patek Philippe had created an immense influence on Swiss horology, making it following the latest fashion trends as a sportive watch of elegancy. Year after year, Nautilus remains one the important sport watch designs main stream, like Royal Oak of Audemars Piguet till today and probably tomorrow.

Charles  Gérald Genta was borne in May 1, 1931, and passed away on Aug 17, 2011 at age of 80, I think Genta is one of the most important men in the history of recent Swiss Watch design!

AP Royal Oak 18K Solid Gold Jumbo1972 on Sale

This is an AP Royal Oak, one of my AP Royal Oak, This Yellow Gold watch is rare and not so many people got a chance to see it unless in AP Exhibition and or some other Auctions. It was the creation of gerald Genta who designed watch to change the fate of the whole AP company for profit.
This watch has never veen polished at AP, it has been worn for a while. It is very accuracte which is important to tell the movement is Good, I have been trying to wear it for two weeks, I could see that it gained half a minute or less, so everyday it gains about 2-3 seconds. That is the accuracy of a Chronometer.

Attached the Waranty booklet of the watch. This watch was engraved with Serial number of two digits! I believe the first launch of this 1972 Gold verison is less than 200 pcs.

Beginning of the year, an Auction of the same 1972 watch in Stainless less had a hammer price of HKD$311,250.

The new 2012 release AP Royal Oak Retro Rose Gold 39 mm is selling at HKD$471,000.00

Mickey Mouse Wrist Watch

This is a cute watch for those who adore Mickey Mouse, a good old days memories LD video  the 80s, It was sold in Hong Kong for about $120 dollars, and that is not cheap at all at that time. Swiss Made, manual Movement, may be just 5 jewels but I did not have time to open and check. It is hard to have the whole complete set as a collection.

Gerald Genta has made a cure Mickey Mouse Watch in 1989, selling at about HKD$19,000.00

Of course that is a masterpiece for those Rich Family’s Kid…
