Nautilus Vintage Stainless Steel Black Dial (1982)

£280,000.00

The Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 3700/11 represents an early evolution of Gérald Genta’s groundbreaking 1976 design, a watch that redefined the concept of luxury sports watches. Crafted in stainless steel, it retains the original “Jumbo” case proportions and signature porthole-inspired silhouette.

This second-generation variant features a more refined, tapered bracelet profile, offering improved wearability while preserving the integrity of the original design. The black ribbed dial reflects the purity of the early Nautilus aesthetic, with applied baton hour markers and a clean, balanced layout.

Powered by an automatic movement, this reference stands as a cornerstone of Nautilus history, prized by collectors for its transitional significance and enduring design. The integrated steel bracelet completes the watch’s unmistakable profile.
