Notes
Launched in 1976 the Patek Philippe
reference 3700 is the perfect
balance between utilitarian function
and elegant design. Of course, one of
the revolutionary creations of the master
Gérald Genta in the 1970s.
The present Nautilus represents the second series of the Nautilus carrying the reference 3700/011A featuring a bracelet narrowed towards the clasp.
The reference 3700 Nautilus is often referred to as ‘Jumbo’, on account of its relatively imposing size for the period.
The present example features an extremely rare dial with factory hour markers applied, conferring a more elegant and precious charm to the watch.
