  • 圖錄文章

    In 1976, the Nautilus stunned the watch world as Patek Philippe's first luxury sports watch, masterfully designed by the legendary Gérald Genta. Taking inspiration from ocean liner portholes, Genta fittingly named it after the submarine in Jules Verne's classic tale. With an integrated bracelet and ultra-thin automatic movement, its silhouette wears comfortably on the wrist.

    Initially conceived as an understated steel leisure watch, the Nautilus was not intended for precious metals or diamonds. However, the early 1980s brought scarce gold editions with diamond bezels, pushing boundaries with lavish embellishments. Among the rarest and most coveted is ref. 3700/3, as seen here. According to our research, only 8 examples are known in this precious metal and gemstone combination, making this a grail for collectors.

    With its well-preserved sturdy case, sharp bevels, and integrated Gay Frères bracelet, the present ref. 3700/3 in yellow gold exemplifies the pinnacle of luxury sports elegance. It provides a portal into the origins of Patek Philippe's now-legendary Nautilus line for scholars and collectors of exceptional vintage watches alike.
