Patek Philippe – Celestial Sunrise Sunset, Nautilus 50th Anniversary & More | Watches & Wonders 2026

At Watches & Wonders 2026, Patek Philippe marks the 50th anniversary of the Nautilus while presenting an ambitious range of complications across several collections. Tim Mosso reviews the key highlights. The Nautilus 50th Anniversary Collection comprises four references, all featuring a distinctive saturated cobalt blue dial unique to this edition. The ref. 5810/1G is a 41mm white gold Nautilus with a 240 micro rotor movement, slimmed to 6.9mm through the elimination of the seconds hand — limited to 2,000 pieces. The ref. 5610/1P is the midsize anniversary edition at 38mm in platinum, also with the 240 micro rotor — limited to 2,000 pieces. A third white gold reference offers the 5810 configuration on a strap with invisibly set baguette diamond hour indices — limited to 1,000 pieces. The ref. 5958 is the most unexpected: a desk clock in 50.65mm diameter, housing an eight-day power reserve with day and date — limited to 100 pieces. The ref. 5322G is a 41mm white gold dual time and 24-hour alarm in lacquered gradient blue and green dial variants. A more wearable evolution of the ref. 5520, retaining the 15-minute increment digital setting system, 24-hour functionality, automatic winding with 52-hour power reserve, and a minute repeater-style striking mechanism with centrifugal governor. The ref. 5249R is Patek Philippe's first modern automaton wristwatch — a 43mm rose gold officer's case with hunter caseback, depicting La Fontaine's fable of the fox and the crow in hand-engr
