The Nautilus model is without a doubt one of Patek Philippe’s most iconic watch references ever produced. The very first reference, 3700/1, embodied every aspect of Patek Philippe’s design philosophy, from the bold yet elegant curves, to the contrasting finishes of the case, and even the delicate grooves of the dial. The result was sublime. An ultimate collaboration between Philippe Stern and Gerald Genta, the Nautilus’ appearance was inspired by the robust proportions of maritime portholes.

It is hard to qualify the many ways in which the Nautilus has changed the horological world. Its influence extends far and wide, and has forever changed the way we view a sports watch. At the time of production, reference 3700/1 retailed for $3100 USD, which was considered a high sum.

This superlative Nautilus is cased in yellow gold and displays a thin row of diamonds around the edge of the bezel. To the best of our knowledge, the present watch is the only known reference 3700/004 in existence, underscoring the absolute rarity of the present timepiece. It is furthermore preserved in most probably unpolished condition, showcasing all its original contrasting bevels, satin and polished finishes. As an added layer of collectibility, it is even accompanied by its original certificate from 1987 showing that the watch was retailed by Gobbi, Milano with a black dial and 72 brilliant diamonds, Gobbi Certificate, presentation box and outer packaging.

Patek Philippe

Swiss | 1839

Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
