Catalogue Essay
In production between 1981 and 2006, the reference 3800 was the mid-sized version in the legendary Patek Philippe Nautilus series. Remaining under the radar until recently, the ref. 3800 has always been overshadowed by its larger counterpart the ref. 3700 and the modern ref. 5711. With its ever-growing interest amongst collectors due to its versatile case size measuring 37.5mm diameter, the ref. 3800 is an incredibly compact and chic version of the original Nautilus and can be deemed as the perfect unisex luxury sports wristwatch offering a wide array of dial variations and case materials.
The present watch is preserved in good overall condition with visible signs of wear throughout. The dial is in excellent condition with no signs of aging. It comes with its Certificate of Origin, product literature, and leather wallet.
