Ladies 7118?

[windhover]

How difficult is this to get hold of in blue dial?

Want to get one for the misses for her birthday

UK preferred!

Well, if you go by the prices on Chrono24 they're going for about $10k over retail (or approximately a 40% markup). So, shouldn't be that hard, at least compared to others. I was actually slightly surprised to see that significant a markup, since just a few months ago I walked into a store here in Chicago that had multiple versions in the display case.

Demand is worse in the UK than most markets due to foreign buyers. Even the Women Nautilus have a waitlist with my AD. I asked for a 7118 a couple months ago - expecting that I would have one in short order. But instead, I am simply on another waitlist.

Funny, (female) friend of mine was asking this the other day - she was looking at a 7118R and said she wanted to look at pre-owned bc MSRP was too much ... didn’t realize these were also being sold at a premium!

In the UK even the 7118/1200R (full Rose gold with diamond bezel) is waitlisted. Not easy at all to get hold of. Patek salon quotes 12-18 months.....

That is a very difficult watch to get from the AD, especially in blue.

Very strong demand here too (Asia). I got the 7118 grey last year after 6 months wait. My uncle ordered the blue one 3 months after me and still on the waiting (11 months now)..... he waited 4 weeks for the 5712r last year so he was in for a surprise

It's a nice one, we scooped one up for my wife around the holidays. It's a winner but seems to have been increasingly harder and harder to get.

I wonder if guys have been buying this too

[Bearxj86]

Guys...be honest. Do these really look good on a woman? When I think of hot women....I don't picture them wearing Nautili. The new twenty four is nice and some of the smaller watches are cool.

Sorry I tuned out

They rose gold looks lovely. The diamond bezel especially suited for women.

My wife picked this over the annual calendar and the 24 (which she didn’t like at all).

The below Nautilus pic is a really poor one btw. Doesn’t do the watch justice at all. The pic of the AC is much more representative. The Nautilus looks stunning in real life. We had actually gone to buy the annual calendar....

And I bet the steel looks great in real life too - better than the pics

I've always been slightly partial against women's watches that are scaled down men's watches (Aquanaut, Nautilus, Datejust), the notable exception being Cartier (where the men's watches often look more like inflated women's watches, but I digress).

However, I do think that the 7118 works very well.

Curious, which 24 are you talking about, the 7300 or 4910? Never liked the 4910, but the 7300 is a beautiful watch (minus the Arabic numerals, IMO). In fact, I find myself wishing it came in 38mm, w/o diamonds and with a screw-in crown, but once again, I digress...

[CoveWatch]

crazy how theres even a lengthy wait for these.. just late last year, my AD was texting me pictures of them available.

The rectangular version. I wasn’t a fan. More importantly my wife wasn’t either. But it was close between the AC and the Nautilus.

If you like more elegant watches on women, which you seem to prefer noting the 24, then of course you wouldn't like the nautilus. My wife solely wears sports watches, so I love it on her. She is eyeballing a 5068R now....

The white strap on rose gold case w/ diamonds is sexy

[BendyBee]

Looking into getting 7118 grey dial for my wife at an AD (to bundle with a calatrava) last Nov but did not. It seems a bit dull for women. So, got her 7018 white dial from the grey mkt (15% premium) instead and she could not be happier. Happy wife happy life.

[ragsk]

Yep that white strap 5068R is super super nice. I have been trying to persuade my wife to get it instead of an AP ROO Diver. However she hasn't budged so I have ordered the AP and am going to pick it up next week. She saw a lady wearing it at dinner and really liked it after trying it on etc. I did try to explain that its a man sized watch but no luck. She feels the 5068R white dial is too close to her 7118/1200R?!

I would have preferred the 5068R on her.

My girlfriend got the 7118/1200a-001 after an 8 month wait back in April. My AD said it was their one and only allocation for 2019.

Yeah, my wife has a 37mm ROO, White. I think the same and suggested she might want to sell the AP if she gets the 5068R. We will see when it comes in, they will be very similar.

I’ve been quoted a few months for my wife’s blue dial 7118.

[alubin]

Its probably the smallest production nautilus, I've been waiting at least a year for my wifes from tiffany.

We went to a Patek event a few days ago. And they had almost the entire collection on display and I tried on most models. My wife loved 5068R in the flesh so she ordered it. I had her and my AD looking at me for approval. Proved impossible to say no and I was on my 4th glass of wine at the time....

Now she has ordered the 7118/1200R, 5068R and the AP 15711IO all this year.

Me thinks she will not get anything else for a long time......
