Description

The legendary Nautilus’ bloodline started in 1976 with the iconic reference 3700 nicknamed “Jumbo” due to its imposing size for those days.
In direct competition with AP’s bold “Royal Oak”, these models were over-sized and “over-priced” for steel watches, establishing a new norm in the ultra luxury sport segment during the “Quartz crisis”.

Created by the equally legendary Gerald Genta, sketched within minutes for Patek Philippe executives it is believed to be one of his best and most timeless designs.

The present reference 3700/1 in stainless steel with integrated bracelet and deployant clasp is fitted with a black “Sigma” dial with horizontal stripes and applied steel baton indexes with matching luminous hands, with round dot minutes markers and the date at 3 o’clock in an aperture.

Patek Philippe – Bio

Patek Philippe & Co. was founded in 1839, located in Geneva and the Vallée de Joux. It designs and manufactures timepieces and movements, including some of the most complicated mechanical watches. It is considered by many experts and aficionados to be one of the most prestigious watch manufacturers.
In 1868, Patek Philippe made their first wristwatch, which was sold on November 13, 1876 to the Hungarian Countess.
It is the last independent, family-owned Genevan watch manufacture with uninterrupted operating history spanning nearly 180 years.
