Catalogue Essay
Slightly smaller than its older sibling reference 3700, reference 3800 is an incredibly compact and chic version of the original Nautilus. In production between 1981 and 2006, the reference 3800 was the mid-sized version in the legendary Patek Philippe Nautilus series.
This attractive and exceedingly well-preserved stainless steel and yellow gold example displays a champagne dial, which is confirmed by the Extract from the Archives. It is preserved in excellent condition with crisp bevels and sharp edges throughout and is even accompanied by its original case back sticker and presentation box.
