  • 圖錄文章

    With the introduction of the “Nautilus “model in 1976, Patek Philippe created one of the most iconic and classic wristwatches of the late 20th century. It was a new era of luxury with the use of stainless steel for high-end watches, which today is the epitome of masculine appeal with a sporty appearance that can be worn in any occasion.

    Advertisements from the launch era boast the fact that one of the most expensive watches in the world was made of steel - an enormously brave marketing move which at the time was actually not sure to pay off.

    In the past 45 years, the 3700 has become an icon whose success has never receded. Many studies were made on this reference but no other publication than “A Study of Patek Philippe Reference 3700” book by Mstanga has covered this iconic reference in such depth from the different subtle dial variations, bracelet and clasp references to the boxes. This book has become a reference reading material for collectors and scholars and this lot will be accompanied by a copy of the guide.

    We are delighted to offer THE Patek Philippe reference 3700 with original flat hands and number matching original bezel that was illustrated in the book as the benchmark. In absolutely superlative condition it is this watch’s dial, case, bracelet, clasp and cork box were illustrated to show what the perfect and original example should be.

    Accompanied by Certificate of Origin, product literature and original cork box – which has become a highly coveted item in its own right, the present reference Nautilus is an exceptional timepiece that has gone down into history as being the benchmark for what an all original 3700 should be.
