How it wears

Wears smaller than its 38 mm case suggests

Patek Philippe Nautilus 50th Anniversary Mid-Size 38mm measures 42.44 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.12 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 85% of the 8,054 watches in this database and shorter than 80% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 48 mm (1.89 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 57 mm (2.24 in) it starts to look compact. Below 42.44 mm (1.67 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 6.9 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 96% of the watches with a listed thickness.
