Patek Philippe
Ref. 3711/1G-001
Nautilus “Jumbo”
An interesting and extremely rare white gold wristwatch with sweeping center seconds, date, bracelet, and Certificate of Origin
Full-Cataloguing
Every bit a Nautilus with its porthole shaped case, integrated bracelet and straight ears, reference 3711 was more than a remake of the iconic reference 3700. It was offered only in a white gold case but slightly thicker to make room for a sapphire case back and saw the addition of a seconds hand. Visually, what sets it apart is the black dial versus the blue/grey dials of the 3700 and the later 5711s. Most recently, white gold Nautiluses made a comeback in the form of the 5811, which was introduced in 2021 after the discontinuation of the 5711.
Produced only for a mere two years, it is estimated that no more than 200 examples of the 3711 were produced annually. Few examples were manufactured and far fewer have surfaced on the market since. Beautifully proportioned and with the original Certificate of Origin, the reference 3711 is the ultimate “IYKYK” Nautilus reference.
