Suddenly, this large steel watch first appeared, the price is even higher than the number of precious metals watches at the time, even more shocking is that no one dared to break the grid, it is the industry's most respected top brand Patek Philippe. Of all the world's most expensive timepieces, one is made of stainless steel. Philippe Stern, former president of Patek Philippe, later confirmed that the dominant style of daring to get out of the watch was not a risk-taking step, but an extraordinary strategy that was carefully evaluated. At that time, the typical social values ​​were changing. Many HNWIs were successful in their careers and were more actively engaged in recreational activities. They sailed to the sea, took the snow and took sweat on the pitch. Valuable movement, the case is easy to scratch the precious metal style, it is difficult to meet the new generation of these love sports, the pursuit of a dynamic lifestyle. Insightful Patek Philippe insight into this trend, Nautilus Golden Eagle Series Ref.3700 watch introduced in 1976 on the enthusiastic response, not only catered to customers want luxury watches in the possession of a durable stainless steel watch needs more Attracting a group of energetic new-generation customers, Golden Eagle series break through the traditional style also transformed into a new era of faith.
