Patek Philippe, rare and attractive Jumbo Nautilus with original warranty certificate, 1979. Stainless steel. D 42 x 44 mm.

Patek Philippes goal was to appeal to a new generation of active, sportive people. The launch of the watch was supported by an advertising campaign that was as original as it was cheeky: "One of the most expensive watches in the world is made of steel !" was the title of a sensational ad.
