SUMMARY

In 1998, with the release of the 3710/1A-001, Patek Philippe introduced the first Nautilus to feature a complication other than the date, integrating a power reserve into the design. This model also features a unique black dial, housed within its Genta-designed and porthole-inspired monobloc steel case. The power reserve complication or IZR ( Indication de Zone de Remontage) is placed in the top half of the dial, between 11 and 12 o’clock, a feature which has made this model particularly sought after among aficionados of Patke Philippe. The reference 3710/1A-00 is powered by the self-winding calibre 330 SC with 29 jewels. Thanks to its ingenious monobloc case construction, the watch is rated 120 metres waterproof.
