      Set the clocks back to 1976.

The year was 1976. British Airways and Air France collaborated on creating the world's most famous commercial airliner of its time, the supersonic Concorde. Apple Computer, Inc. was formed, and the age of user-friendly, graphics-based personal computing was kicked off. NASA sent us the first photographs taken from the surface of planet Mars, taking us into a new age of space travel. And Patek Philippe introduced a new watch with a new look: the Nautilus.

Fast forward thirty years to 2006.

The Concorde is now, sadly, out of commission. Apple's personal computers are now more commonly known as Macs. Pictures from Mars and beyond are now fairly commonplace. And Patek Philippe, enjoying the renewed bullishness in the luxury watch industry, has released four new models to their Nautilus lineup. Is this new range of luxury sport watches the trend-setting cult classic that the original lineup was? Let us now take an exclusive, close-up look at the new range of Patek Philippe Nautilus watches.
