SUMMARY

Based on the original Gerald Genta designed ref. 3700 from 1976, this ladies’ version of the Nautilus is presented in a 35.2mm case and paired with an integrated bracelet, both of which are finished in luxurious rose gold. On the dial, the Nautilus’ emblematic horizontal embossing has been reinterpreted to a wavy finish and is complemented by applied baton hour markers with a “12” up top. A date aperture is symmetrically positioned at 6 o’clock.

On the underside of the case, an exhibition back reveals the in-house calibre 324 SC. This automatic movement is expertly hand-finished with Côtes de Genève across the bridges and the 21K gold oscillating weight. Stamped with the Patek Philippe Seal, timekeeping is regulated to -3 to +2 seconds per day. The Nautilus is a core model in Patek Philippe’s catalogue and has enjoyed unprecedented levels of demand thanks to collectors’ continued interest in luxury sports watches.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
