Catalogue Essay
In 2004, Patek Philippe released the rare and desirable ref. 3711/1G-001 featuring its classic ribbed dial, however in glossy black differing from its usual greyish blue hue. Admired by collectors, the 42mm diameter white gold case was appreciated by many due to its luxurious heft and below-the-radar appearance. This all-new model was offered only in a white gold case made slightly thicker to make room for two firsts for its flagship “Jumbo” Nautilus model - a sapphire case back and the addition of a center seconds’ hand. Produced only for a mere two years, it is estimated that no more than 200 examples of the reference were produced annually during its production span. To further highlight its rarity, no more than 10% of the entire production has surfaced in the market since its launch, making the reference 3711 extremely rare.
Offered in exemplary condition, the present lot from 2005 displays a bold black glossy ribbed dial and delightfully well-preserved, factory brushed and polished finishing, as well as a fully-linked bracelet.
