Catalogue Essay
- Among Patek Philippe's legendary Nautilus lineage, the ref. 3800 holds a special place. Produced from 1981 to 2006, this 37.5mm mid-sized model has remained discreetly in the shadow of its larger counterparts, the iconic ref. 3700 and the modern ref. 5711. Recently, however, this refined classic has experienced a surge in collector appreciation for its versatility, compact elegance, and status as the archetypal luxury sports watch for both men and women.
- The ref. 3800 is one of the most varied Nautilus models, featuring a wide array of case materials and dial variations throughout its lengthy 25-year production span. The reference was introduced in four series, each with upgraded calibers.
- The present ref. 3800, dating from circa 2001, belongs to the last series produced. Encased in stainless steel and fitted with a “glossy” black dial with applied luminous Roman numerals, this variant is particularly unique, as Roman numerals were never used in subsequent Nautilus models.
- Offered by the original owner, the watch is in attractive overall condition and comes with the original Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin and the original purchasing invoice from 2001. This is a fantastic opportunity for Nautilus enthusiasts to acquire one of the most versatile models suitable for both ladies and gentlemen.
