Patek Philippe's 50th Anniversary Celebration: Deciphering the Next Move
With the 2026 Geneva Watch & Wonders exhibition approaching, speculation intensifies about how Patek Philippe will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Nautilus watch. However, with careful observation, the signs have been clear for years. From Thierry Stern's public statements and the production halt controversy to the strategic repositioning through the Cubitus series, Patek Philippe has clearly indicated to collectors what they should expect, and more importantly, what they shouldn't expect.
What might the 2026 Watch & Wonders exhibition bring?
Will Patek Philippe release a stainless steel Nautilus watch for its 50th anniversary? We can't be certain, but there are some speculations. Considering Patek Philippe's current focus on precious metals and the discontinuation of the 5711/1A model, we believe a stainless steel Nautilus watch is unlikely.

However, we believe a faithful tribute to the 3700/1A might be crafted in 18K white gold or 18K yellow gold, with a matching dial or a fully skeletonized dial. This timepiece might also feature a special interchangeable case back, allowing the wearer to switch between a sapphire crystal case back and a solid case back similar to the original Nautilus—this time engraved with a 50th-anniversary inscription—and come with a commemorative box similar to the 5711/1P-001. We might also see a 57.40 perpetual calendar watch in yellow gold, platinum, or rose gold.
We also believe that releasing limited edition Nautilus watches with different complications aligns with Patek Philippe's philosophy of enhancing rather than popularizing watches. Perhaps we will see one or more new complications added to the Nautilus series: such as a Nautilus minute repeater, a Nautilus split-seconds chronograph, an annual calendar travel time, an alarm travel time, a chronograph annual calendar, and even a world time function if Patek Philippe can incorporate it into a slightly square or round dial design.
The Unseen Returns to Stainless Steel at a Reasonable Price. In 1976, Gérald Genta designed the Nautilus watch with its porthole, born from fierce competition—aiming to surpass the Royal Oak's success in the mid-1970s—a competition that now persists in strategic absence rather than direct competition.
Back in 1976, the Nautilus cleverly incorporated design elements echoing the Royal Oak's aesthetic, establishing its position as a luxury sports watch in stainless steel, and borrowing its "Jumbo" naming convention. The porthole-style bezel echoed Audemars Piguet's octagonal bezel; these were not coincidences, but deliberate responses. Today, Patek Philippe's considerations are simple: discontinuing the 5711/1A enhances the brand's mystique more than continuing production. There's no need to attract younger customers with stainless steel; the stainless steel versions of the 5711, 5980, and 5712 have already been discontinued. We anticipate that the remaining stainless steel Nautilus watches currently on the market will also be discontinued, such as the 5990, 5726, and the ladies' Nautilus 7118.
These signs indicate that the anniversary celebration will commemorate its 50th anniversary in a way that uses precious metals and complex functions to ensure this classic timepiece remains forever out of reach. Perhaps this is precisely where Genta's true genius lies; he designed not merely a case inspired by a porthole, but a vessel embodying an enduring yearning, which Patek Philippe perfected and masterfully executed.
