Abyssal is excellent on him. Gives a lot of AP and M-res. Plus the debuff aura helps your mages out by reducing enemy M-res (since you'll be in the middle of the fight anyway).

Zhonya's is an alright choice for Armor if you can spare the gold. If you can't really afford it, Glacial Shroud->Frozen Heart is good as well.

Rod of Ages is also really powerful. It gives him HP to bolster his shield and AP to power up his damage.

Rylai's is almost useless on him sadly. Rod of Ages gives better stats, and the slow is almost meaningless since his attacks snare, his Q pulls, his E slows, and his ult knocks up, so the slow wouldnt even affect them for more than like half a second. Plus all his spells aside from Q are aoe/dot so its weaker slow anyway.

Athene's Unholy Grail is worth moentioning since aside from Abyssal its the only AP item that grants M-res. The CDR is also nice. However, I'd consider it a luxury/situational item against extremely AP heavy teams, since the main use of it (massive mana regen) isn't a huge deal for Nautilus since he has a decent sized mana pool and his long Cooldowns mean you have time for mana to regen. Also he's not meant to mindlessly spam his spells.
