Patek Philippe 7118

Why collectors love the 7118

• Iconic design, tailored for 35 mm wrists: Octagonal bezel, rounded ears, and a slim profile that slides under cuffs.
• Wave-pattern legibility: Luminous hands/indices and a balanced date at 6 o’clock.
• True daily luxury: Automatic in-house movement, sapphire caseback, and 60 m water resistance.
• Dials for every style: Opaline silver, gray, brown/chocolate, blue-gray—and high-jewelry pavé options.
• Strong liquidity: Steel 7118/1A leads demand; rose-gold 7118/1200R and full pavé 7118/1450R cater to precious-metal and gem-set collectors.

Sizing & wrist presence

• The 7118 wears neatly at 35 mm, thanks to short lugs and a thin mid-case—ideal from ~5.5" wrists upward.
• The diamond bezel versions read slightly larger on-wrist due to the reflective ring; the smooth bezel steel 1A reads sportier and slimmer.
