The ladies’Patek Philippe Nautilus model with reference 7118/1200A-001 is equipped with the classic blue embossed dial and a bezel set with diamonds, offering a more compact and refined interpretation of the famous case shape. The combination of the familiar Nautilus outline and the sparkling diamond bezel results in a watch that is at once sporty and dressy, a rare achievement which Patek has done well. This super clone model reproduces the blue dial and diamond bezel combination so closely that it will satisfy anyone looking for the appearance of the 7118/1200A-001.
The watch maintains the appropriate smaller case dimension that is suitable for the women’s Nautilus range, featuring a rounded octagonal bezel with diamonds now set around the edge instead of the plain steel used on the men’s models. It is actually quite difficult to achieve a good stone setting on a replica, and this imitation does a good job with the placement of the diamonds and their consistency, preventing the irregular spacing or lacklustre sparkle which is a sign of lower quality copies. The case shape and the bezel screws beneath the diamonds still match the proper Nautilus arrangement.
The dial has the same horizontal embossed grid pattern as that found on the larger Nautilus models, the gradient effect ranging from a lighter to a darker blue according to the lighting conditions. This imitation retains the texture and depth in a convincing way instead of reducing it to a single shade. It offers a sharp contrast when diamond hour markers or a diamond bezel are used with steel or white gold hands, and the date window is placed in the right position to correspond with the authentic arrangement.
This bracelet features the same integrated design language as the more substantial Nautilus models, but on a smaller scale, and includes a folding clasp which closes firmly and secures the proper Patek branding. The use of solid links ensures that the weight is distributed correctly, so that it has the same solid sensation when worn on the wrist as the real article. The case thickness and the curvature of the lugs keep the bracelet lying flat and comfortable, and it wears in exactly the same way as the genuine ladies’ Nautilus.
If you’re a collector or somebody looking for a smaller Nautilus model with diamonds, this replica of the Patek Philippe Nautilus 7118/1200A-001 acts convincingly by offering the combination of a blue dial and a diamond-set bezel. The dial’s gradient, the diamond-set bezel, and the way the bracelet feels all combine to produce the same sporty yet elegant look which is characteristic of the ladies’ Nautilus range.
