Description
The Patek Philippe Nautilus was the first luxury sports watch and was designed by the legendary (and sadly deceased) Gerald Genta. The majority of the production was in stainless steel. This rare 18k gold Nautilus 3700/11 is mint and will make its next owner very happy. The gold dial is rare. Genta watches are catching a wave with prices… they are escalating rapidly.
Original 18k gold case measures 44.5mm long by 42mm long by 7.6mm thick. Before proceeding further, it should be noted that this is a very thin case to be housing an automatic movement. The elite Swiss manufacturers consider a thin automatic movement documentary evidence of their advanced watchmaking abilities… and the Nautilus’s thinness is a badge of honor for Patek. Crystal is sapphire. There are gold shoulders protecting the crown. The Nautilus case is iconic and the bezel is unique in the watch world and highly recognizable.
Bracelet is solid 18k gold and is integral to the case. Featuring An 18k white gold flip-lock deployant clasp, this bracelet is in mint condition.
Original and rare Gold sigma dial with horizontal channeling, date window at 3 o’clock, and original hands. Applied golden hour markers and golden hands are baton style.
Movement is the automatically winding Patek Philippe Caliber 28-255 C with 36 jewels; adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism and in 5 positions and stamped with the Geneva Seal. Winding rotor has 21k gold segment to increase mass and consequently winding efficiency.
Watch is in mint condition. We encourage anyone interested in acquiring this rare Nautilus not to wait…
