Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 3700/1
The original Nautilus — Patek’s famed reference 3700/1 — feels as fresh today as it did at its 1976 debut. Early dials like this have a certain magic, shifting hue with the light. This example shows a rich, deep blue and retains a thick case with crisp factory angles and geometry. The Nautilus is the perfect convergence of sport and elegance. It's easy to see why it has long been appreciated by not just watch collectors but any who value timeless, important design.
The watch is preserved in very good condition with long bracelet fitting up to a 7 ¾ inch wrist. The dial is a rich even blue and has very minor signs of age namely near the 9 and 10 hour markers when viewed under 10x loupe. An Extract from the Archives has been ordered and will accompany the watch.
