The Nautilus 3700/1J represents one of the most iconic expressions of haute horlogerie. Crafted in 18kt yellow gold, this first-generation piece embodies the revolutionary concept of sporty elegance introduced by Patek Philippe in the 1970s: a watch born to break the rules, now a legend.
The 42mm monobloc case, waterproof and harmoniously proportioned, interacts with the famous deep and vibrant blue dial with horizontal stripes, featuring applied indexes and gold hands with luminescent treatment. The date display at 3 o’clock maintains the functional balance of a timeless design. Inside, the Swiss-made automatic movement beats, a symbol of reliability, fine craftsmanship, and technical consistency.
An exceptionally rare piece, offered in collector’s condition, complete with original box and guarantee, accompanied by an archive extract. This combination is increasingly difficult to find, further enhancing its historical and patrimonial value.
Not just a watch, but an absolute icon: the Nautilus 3700/1J is a statement of taste, a cornerstone of every great collection, a true grail of watchmaking.
