Patek Philippe Nautilus ref.3700 in Stainless Steel

The design of the Nautilus possesses a seemingly timeless appeal, and the Ref. 3700 is a watch of exceptional importance. As the very first model of the iconic Nautilus line, the 3700 will forever occupy a pivotal place in Patek Philippe’s history. Its case is slimmer than that of later iterations, and the two-hand configuration lends the watch a sense of calm, understated elegance. While the Ref. 3700 is not particularly rare in absolute numbers, examples preserved in unpolished, original condition are exceedingly difficult to find. As always, you would want the original and the very first of any icon.
