Catalogue Essay
The reference 3800 was the mid-size Nautilus Patek Philippe released in 1981 and continued to produce until 2006. In addition to the smaller size, it differed from the 3700 in that the movement had a center seconds. The present watch from the 2nd series has a quick-set date. Fresh to the market, it is well-preserved and was only recently serviced by Patek Philippe. This is an excellent opportunity to own the second generation of the iconic Nautilus, and it is accompanied by its original certificate.
