Catalogue Essay
Slightly more petite than the ref. 3700, the Patek Philippe ref. 3800 is an incredibly compact and charming iteration of the original Nautilus Jumbo. Introduced in 1981, the present model was the medium-sized sibling within the Nautilus family, which was discontinued in 2006.
Exceedingly well-preserved, this luxury sports watch is framed in an iconic two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold case, sporting a beautiful ceramic dial in a warm and inviting white hue. Furthermore, the yellow gold bezel has developed a layer of aesthetically pleasing patina, which demonstrates how the watch has aged gracefully with no intervention over the ravages of time. Fresh-to-the-market and part of the 3rd series from which 11 are known in such two-tone configuration, the present ref. 3800 is also accompanied by its accessories and Certificate of Origin, a fantastic addition to any collection.
