More information
Introduced in 1981, the reference 3800 represented Patek Philippe's smaller version of the original Nautilus reference 3700. With a still substantial 37,5mm width, the reference 3800 emerged as a nearly perfect unisex wristwatch for contemporary tastes. What truly sets this reference apart is its remarkable diversity, with Patek Philippe crafting it in various case materials and offering a range of dial options, making it one of the most intriguing luxury sports models in the Patek Philippe portfolio.
This particular timepiece stands out due to its resplendent yellow gold case and striking blue dial. It has been meticulously preserved in an excellent condition, with the case showing deep and well-defined hallmarks, sharp bevels, and crisp edges throughout. Notably, this is an early specimen featuring a black date wheel, a subtle detail cherished by discerning collectors. Adding to its allure, the bracelet remains in impeccable and crisp condition, showing minimal signs of wear and tear.
