Patek Philippe Nautilus 50th Anniversary Desk Clock

Gérald Genta sketched the Nautilus in five minutes on a restaurant napkin in 1976. Fifty years later, Patek Philippe marks the anniversary with four limited-edition pieces — and the most unexpected of the four is the one you can't wear. The Ref. 958G-001 is a white gold desk clock in the unmistakable Nautilus silhouette: a 50.65mm case in satin-brushed white gold with a horizontally embossed sunburst blue dial and baguette-diamond hour markers. The hinged caseback folds down to prop it on a desk; a loop at the top converts it into a pocket watch, for those who want to be the most theatrical version of themselves in any room. Inside, the manually wound Calibre 31-505 8J PS IRM CI J — 256 parts, 28 jewels, twin barrels — delivers a minimum eight-day power reserve. Limited to 100 pieces worldwide. The case back is engraved 50th Anniversary Nautilus 1976–2026 Patek Philippe. No chain included, which feels about right. CHF 205,000, price on application.
