Patek Philippe 7118/1452G-001 Haute Joaillerie

The Patek Philippe Nautilus Haute Joaillerie Ref. 7118/1452G‑001 is a dazzling testament to the brand’s gem-setting mastery. Crafted in white gold, the 35.2 mm case, bezel, dial, and integrated bracelet are lavishly adorned using the exquisite “snow-setting” technique. The dial itself is paved with 283 brilliant-cut diamonds arranged in the signature Nautilus wave motif, while 12 ogival-shaped white-gold hour markers are set with rubies. The bracelet is similarly luxurious, featuring 976 diamonds and 497 rubies, all polished off with a patented fold-over clasp—a total gem-setting count of 1,500 diamonds (6.53 ct) and 876 rubies (6.58 ct).

Inside beats the ultra-thin self-winding Caliber 26‑330 S, visible through the sapphire crystal case back. This 27 mm movement is just 3.32 mm thick and comprises 181 parts with 29 jewels, delivering a minimum 45‑hour power reserve. It features a 21K-gold central rotor, Gyromax® balance, and Spiromax® balance spring, all regulated at 28,800 vph in accordance with the Patek Philippe Seal standards. The overall thickness of the 35.2 mm white gold case is a mere 8.65 mm, and the watch maintains water resistance up to 30 m.
