In 1976, Patek Philippe collaborated with Gerald Genta to create the ultimate sports watch. The Nautilus collection was thus created, with the very first model being reference 3700/1 in stainless steel. The patented case design of reference 3700/1, was registered on April 23, 1976. The cases were made for Patek Philippe by Favre-Perret SA, in Le Crêt-du-Locle, from 1976 until 1981 when production was transferred to Patek’s own Ateliers Réunis workshops, for the second generation Ref. 3700/11. According to researchers, around 3600 pieces were produced under the Reference 3700/1A and 1200 pieces under the Ref. 3700/11A. In superb overall condition, with its well-preserved case, patinated petrol blue/black dial bearing with the famous “Swiss Sigma” signature at 6, accent for the second E of GENEVE, nicely aged luminous indexes and hands, clasp engraved “Nautilus”, the present watch is per sure a great and iconic timekeeper to consider for any discerning collector.
