The Nautilus is one of Patek Philippe’s most successful icons and one of the most desirable watches on the market today. First released in 1976 with the reference 3700, the Nautilus was billed as the most expensive stainless steel wristwatches available and had a sporty masculine appeal that was rugged enough for the outdoors, but classic in style and suitable for the office. The Gerald Genta designed case based on maritime portholes is today a gem.
The reference 3800 was launched in 1981 and remained in production until 2006. A smaller version of the reference “Jumbo” 3700, the present watch features a 37.5 mm diameter case and referred to as the “3/4” size. Over the 25-year production span of the reference 3800 many various model types were made, from the classic stainless steel with black dial like the present watch, to yellow gold gem-set editions. The watch was made in four series based: 1st series until 1987, caliber 335 SC 2nd series until 1992, caliber 335 SC, quick-set 3rd series until 1197, caliber 330 134 4th series until 2006, caliber 330 194, like the present watch

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.
