Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix | Hungaroring, Budapest | 2 – 4 August 2019

Held on the twisty Hungaroring track, the Hungarian Grand Prix has been held here annually as part of the F1 World Championship since 1986 thanks to Bernie Ecclestone who orchestrated the first F1 race to occur behind the Iron Curtain. For many years due to the design of the track (often narrow and only allowing single file with drivers unable to pass), teams relied heavily on pit-stop strategy to win the race but in recent years there have been modifications to allow better passing.

At this year’s Watches & Wonders Geneva 2021, Patek Philippe revealed an array of new watches, including four new Nautilus designs, a new grand complication with a perpetual calendar, a revival of the famous Calatrava with the “Clous de Paris” bezel, and an Annual Calendar with a round steel case and integrated metal bracelet.


New Patek Philippe 2021 Releases

Launched in 1976, the Nautilus model with its stainless steel case and rounded octagonal bezel drew inspiration from a ship’s porthole and quickly became a favorite for its casually elegant look and robust water resistance.

Now following the announcement that 2021 will be the last production year of the stainless steel model Ref. 5711/1A, Patek Philippe has unveiled a new olive green sunburst dial – a color that has never been seen before in the Nautilus collection.

This new colored dial will also be available in a version featuring a bezel set with 32 baguette diamonds, cut perfectly to match the octagonal bezel with rounded corners.

A new Ref. 5990/1R-001 Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph has also been revealed in rose gold with a blue sunburst dial and two time zones, a flyback chronograph, and an analog date display.

Meanwhile the new Nautilus Haute Joaillerie revisits a 2013-2018 design and has been given a random full diamond pave setting (also known as “snow-setting”), featuring 2553 flawless Top Wesselton brilliant-cut diamonds in a rose gold setting.


Patek Philippe Nautilus Stainless Steel Olive Green Ref. 5711/1A-014

Following the announcement that 2021 will be the last production year of the stainless steel model Ref. 5711/1A-010, Patek Philippe has unveiled a new olive green sunburst dial – a color that has never been seen before in the Nautilus collection – replacing the current 5711/1A-010 blue-black graduated dial.

Patek Philippe Calatrava “Clous de Paris” 2021 Releases

Of all the Calatrava watches since 1932, one model, in particular, has received the most attention – the one with the bezel decorated with a guilloched “Clous de Paris” pattern introduced in 1985.

It is this “Clous de Paris” bezel design Patek Philippe has revived for this year’s new Calatrava designs along with the introduction of an updated manually wound movement, a slightly enlarged case and hour markers in gold for a sleek refined appearance.

Available in two versions, the 2021 Calatrava comes in rose gold with a silvery grained dial and a white gold model with a charcoal gray dial.

Origin and key dates of the Patek Philippe Calatrava “Clous de Paris”

1932 – Launch of the first Calatrava, the famous Ref. 96 (the first Patek Philippe model with a reference number) with the manually wound caliber 12-120.

1934 – The Ref. 96D (“D” short for Décor) features the same manually wound caliber 12-120, the same round dial with applied hour markers, and the same slightly curved strap lugs as the Ref. 96, but distinguishes itself with a bezel decorated with the guilloched “Clous de Paris” motif.

1953 – The Ref. 2526 is the first Patek Philippe wristwatch endowed with a self-winding movement, the caliber 12-600 AT.

1972 – The Ref. 3520D with a manually wound movement (caliber 177) combines a “Clous de Paris” bezel, an hours/minutes dial with Roman numerals, and a case with straight strap lugs.

1982 – The Ref. 3796 with a case and dial inspired by the Ref. 96 is powered by a self-winding caliber 215 PS movement with subsidiary seconds.

1985 – Launch of the famous Ref. 3919 “Clous de Paris” with a manually wound caliber 215 PS movement, subsidiary seconds, white dial with black lacquered Roman numerals and straight lugs. This model, was produced for 20 years and became one of the most celebrated timepieces in the world of horology.

1988 – The Ref. 3992 with a “Clous de Paris” bezel and straight lugs is powered by a self-winding, ultra-thin caliber 240 movement.

2000 – The Ref. 5107 equipped with the self-winding caliber 315 S C movement features a dial with sweep seconds and an aperture date.

2000 – The Ref. 5115 “Clous de Paris” with the manually wound caliber 215 PS movement echoes the dipping curved strap lugs that recall the Refs. 96 and 96D.

2001 – The self-winding caliber 240 movement powers the Ref. 5120 “Clous de Paris” with hour and minute hands, Roman numerals and straight lugs.

2004 – The Ref. 5196 combines a manually wound caliber 215 PS movement with subsidiary seconds as well as a case and dial inspired by the Ref. 96.

2006 – The Ref. 5119 with elongated slender Roman numerals is a reinterpretation of the Ref. 3919 in a slightly larger case (36mm instead of 33.5mm) and it retains the manually wound caliber 215 PS movement as well as the straight lugs.
