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 yellow gold example displays a champagne dial, which is confirmed by the Certificate of Origin. It is preserved in excellent condition with crisp bevels and sharp edges throughout and a strong bracelet.
There is a treasure trove of accessories that come with this watch, such as the Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin stamped Somazzi S.A. and dated April 17, 1989, service papers, copy of original invoice, winding box, presentation box and outer packaging.
As an additional point of interest, the copy of the original invoice states that the watch was sold for 14'500 CHF in 1989 - an exceedingly large and impressive sum at the time.
