Catalogue Essay
The Patek Philippe 3800/1 was introduced to the market in the early 1980's and had a production run until 2006. Created by the late and great Gerald Genta, the Nautilus was inspired by the universal shape of a porthole found on Maritime vessels. Today, the Nautilus is a classic and elegant sports watch and has just had its 40th anniversary of continuous production.
