Lot 94
Patek Philippe Genève, "Nautilus", Movement No. 1421516, Ref. 3800/1, Cal. 335SC aut., 37 x 39 mm, circa 1983
An automatic Geneva wristwatch in near mint condition, with date - with original box, original certificate and papers
Case: steel, Patek Philippe steel bracelet. Dial: ocean grey, bar texture.
In 1976 Patek Philippe launched its first Nautilus model. At this time, luxury sports watches are expected to be as thin as possible, so this large watch with its brawny ship's porthole design is completely novel.
The first model of the collection is the Ref. 3700/1; a Swiss patent is awarded for its water-resistant case (up to 120 meters).
Reference 3800 "Nautilus" came in four series; this model is part of the first edition, which was produced from 1981 until 1988.
This timepiece is in practically new condition and has never been auctioned before.
