Released in the early 1980s, the Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 3800 was the first evolutional Nautilus model featuring a case size of 37.5mm diameter ultimately being the mid-sized variant of the important model. While smaller in size, the Nautilus reference 3800 maintained all the design cues of its "bigger" brother, with its porthole inspired case and integrated metal bracelet - offering a mid-size proposal to those who did not fully appreciate the larger case of the Jumbo. The most important evolution between ref. 3700 and 3800 is the addition of a center seconds hand indicating a mechanical upgrade with the adoption of the Patek Philippe caliber 330SC and variants.
Over the course of its production ending in 2006, the reference was the most fruitful Nautilus model offering collectors a wide array of materials and dial options, making it one of the most interesting Nautilus references to collect. While it is indeed that some examples and variants are rarer than others, platinum examples of the references are considered one of the rarest.
The present example from the last of its series in platinum is further adorned with a diamond-set bezel and a classic blue ribbed dial set with diamond indexes. Complete with its original certificate and presentation box, this is a rare and delightful opportunity for collectors seeking for the rare and illusive platinum ref. 3800.

For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
