The legendary Nautilus’ bloodline started in 1976 with the iconic reference 3700<\/strong> nicknamed “Jumbo” due to its imposing size for those days.
\nIn 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”.
\nCreated 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.<\/p>\n

The present reference 3700\/001<\/strong>\u00a0in stainless steel with integrated bracelet and deployant clasp is fitted with a\u00a0black “Sigma” dial with horizontal stripes and applied steel baton indexes with matching\u00a0luminous hands, with round dot minutes markers and the date at 3 o’clock in an aperture.
\nThe extra-thin\u00a0Caliber 28-255 C housed in the 42mm case allowed the watch to be only 7.6mm thick, it\u00a0had a 40-hour power reserve and was regarded as the most\u00a0significant ultra-slim automatic movement.<\/p>\n

What is remarkable is our complete set includes the orignal box, outer carton box, orignal warranty certificate and the original invoice dated 1977.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Patek Philippe – Bio<\/b><\/p>\n

Patek Philippe & Co. was founded in 1839, located in Geneva and the Vall\u00e9e 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.
\nIn 1868, Patek Philippe made their first wristwatch, which was sold on November 13, 1876 to the Hungarian Countess.
\nIt is the last independent, family-owned Genevan watch manufacture with uninterrupted operating history spanning nearly 180 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
