  • 圖錄文章

    What started as Patek Philippe’s first leisure luxury watch has slowly evolved into a full collection of time only and complicated timepieces made in steel and precious metals, highly coveted by collectors with waiting list that can be counted in years.

    Gerald Genta’s design inspired by the portholes of transatlantic ocean liners was named after Captain Nemo’s Nautilus submarine from Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. The ‘Jumbo’ case with wide flat bezel, integrated link bracelet, and ultra-thin automatic movement had a masculine aesthetic compared to the smaller dressy gold mechanical watches of the time.

    The original Nautilus reference 3700 presented in 1976 was intended as a luxury sports watch and thus was made in steel, however in the 1980s Patek Philippe decided to create a very small number of pieces in yellow gold adding a dash of glamour to its iconic design.

    Patek Philippe pushed its own boundaries by creating an even rarer version of the gold Nautilus with a bezel elegantly set with two rows of diamonds adding extra flamboyance to the watch. So rare is the reference 3700/ 003 that the present example is only the fifth known.

    Preserved in extremely appealing condition the watch with strong case, sharp bevels and rigid bracelet the present Nautilus is rendered even more collectible thanks to the fact that it is accompanied by its original certificate stamped 15 April 1980 by Wempe in Hamburg and is complemented by a set of yellow gold and diamond set cufflinks.

    A watch of incomparable elegance and sophistication the present ultra-rare reference 3700/003 is a must have for the collector of rare iconic watches.
