Patek Philippe Nautilus

Patek Philippe Nautilus

£70,000.00

The 3710/1A — aka The Comet — the first complicated Nautilus, with a rare power reserve, Roman dial, and a short-lived production run. A pure icon.”

The legendary Patek Philippe Nautilus, famously inspired by the shape of a ship’s porthole, first set sail in 1976, and almost fifty years later Gérald Genta’s iconic design remains at the technical and aesthetic pinnacle of watchmaking. Only the second-ever Nautilus model after the original ref.3700, this model 3710 is a large 42mm, known to be a prized case size among collectors, but retains the hallmark styling of Patek Philippe, with the brushed bezel contrasting beautifully with the polished case sides and pushers. Its clean, matte black dial is complemented by highly-legible white gold-applied Roman numeral hour markers, for a stunning watch face. The date aperture is placed classically at 3 o’clock, and this model is the very first of the line to feature an added complication, a power reserve indicator between 11 and 12 o’clock. In true Nautilus fashion, the watch is paired with an integrated bracelet, with mirror-polished central links and fold-over clasp, and is water resistant to 100m. Powered by Patek’s in-house cal.330C movement, the 3710 is where classical taste meets modern style.
