The world of watches has recently been thrown into a frenzy, with the rumour mill alleging that one of the world’s most coveted timepieces could be retiring from the retail sector for good. Instagram watch collecting legend @Patekaholic has caused a stir with the word Patek Phillipe Nautilus 5711/1a-010 will be discontinued, a sentiment exacerbated by comments made by Patek Philippe CEO Thierry Stern during an interview with French business magazine Bilan, with the Patek patriarch stating “personally, I’d like to stop producing the nautilus … We seriously think about moving to something else.” Whilst nothing has been made official nor confirmed, the thought alone of losing their chance at owning the iconic piece has been enough to drive many Nautilus fans neurotic.
