The Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 3700/11J-051 is a significant early example of the iconic design, representing the evolution of Gérald Genta’s original concept. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, it carries the distinctive porthole-inspired case that defined a new era of luxury sports watches.
The champagne dial features diamond hour markers, adding a refined and rare touch to the model’s sporty foundation. Paired with a tapered yellow gold bracelet, this reference reflects the transition to a more streamlined and elegant execution of the Nautilus design.
Powered by an automatic movement, the 3700 remains one of the most important vintage Patek Philippe references, highly regarded for its historical significance, limited production, and enduring influence on modern watch design.
Includes Gearys service documentation (2025); archive papers on order.
