Nautilus 7118 Haute Joaillerie White Gold - Emerald

In Context

At 35.2 mm it is classically proportioned: the size a dress watch was understood to be for most of the twentieth century, and small enough to sit under a cuff. At 8.62 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 60 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 45 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

7118/1453G-001 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a diamonds gloss dial with a white gold case.
