The ladies' Nautilus 7118 carries Gérald Genta's 1976 porthole silhouette into the present, and this 7118/1450R pushes it to its most opulent extreme: a fully diamond-set haute joaillerie creation. Every surface, from bezel and case to the entire bracelet, disappears beneath snow-set brilliants, a technique that scatters stones for edge-to-edge fire. Collectors regard such fully-paved Nautilus references as the pinnacle of the line's feminine expression, where an icon of sporty restraint is reborn as unabashed jewelry.

The 35.2mm rose gold case anchors a display of over 2,300 snow-set diamonds, 11.6 carats blanketing bezel, flanks, and every bracelet link. The pavé dial reprises the Nautilus's horizontal relief as a rippling wave of brilliants, punctuated by applied rose gold numerals at twelve and six, matching hour markers, and alpha hands. A central seconds hand drifts across the sparkle, powered by the self-winding movement within, the integrated bracelet flowing into a jeweled clasp.
