Patek Philippe Nautilus 7118/1A-011 ‘Ladies’ Stainless Steel Smoke Grey Dial (2024)

Description

The Patek Philippe Nautilus 7118/1A-011 brings contemporary elegance and sporty refinement to the forefront of modern women’s watchmaking. Crafted entirely from stainless steel, this 35.2mm ladies’ Nautilus features the iconic porthole-inspired case design with a gently rounded octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet—an unmistakable silhouette that defines Patek Philippe’s most sought-after collection.

The standout feature of this reference is its smoke grey dial, which fades from light to dark toward the edges, creating striking visual depth. Embossed with horizontal waves exclusive to the ladies’ Nautilus line, the dial is accented by applied white gold Arabic numerals and luminescent baton-style hands, delivering excellent legibility and refined contrast. A framed date window at 6 o’clock adds practical functionality while preserving balance across the dial.

Inside, the watch is powered by the self-winding Caliber 330 S C, a highly regarded in-house movement that combines slimness with reliability and refined finishing. It features a 21k gold central rotor and is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. The movement meets the strict standards of the Patek Philippe Seal, ensuring impeccable accuracy and craftsmanship, with a power reserve of up to 45 hours.

The integrated stainless steel bracelet is a work of art in itself, with alternating polished and satin-brushed finishes and a double-folding clasp for comfort and security. The bracelet’s seamless flow from case to clasp exemplifies the attention to ergonomic detail and visual harmony for which Patek Philippe is known.

With its versatile grey dial, robust construction, and timeless design, the 7118/1A-011 is an ideal choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a daily-wear luxury sports watch that blends subtle sophistication with mechanical excellence.
