Nautilus Ref. 3700/1 - First generation Jumbo.

An early and important steel & yellow gold Jumbo Nautilus with Archive Extract and fresh Patek Philippe service.

The reference that started it all. Designed by Gérald Genta and launched in 1976, the Nautilus 3700 was Patek Philippe's radical answer to luxury sports watches. The two-tone 3700/1, in steel and 18k yellow gold, was produced in far smaller numbers than the steel, and remains the connoisseur's choice today.

This example is exactly what serious collectors want.

Provenance & Authenticity;
Accompanied by its Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming manufacture in 1979 and sale on May 1st, 1980. This is a true first-series watch from the first 4 years of Nautilus production.

Captured in our set of images, it retains all its charismatic details:

• Original black-blue ribbed dial with yellow gold baton indexes
• Sigma dial at 6 o'clock - correct for this early period
• Tritium dots with warm, even aging
• Full, thick case with original proportions preserved
• Original two-tone integrated bracelet with Calatrava clasp, in excellent condition

Fresh from Geneva:
Recently serviced by Patek Philippe in June 2026 (under their warrant to June 2028). Serviced to factory standard, running perfectly, and ready to wear and enjoy for decades to come. No worries, no compromises just pure vintage Patek at its best.

At 42mm, the Jumbo wears perfectly on any wrist, slim and elegant, the contrast of brushed steel against polished yellow gold bezel and centre links is classic 1970s luxury, and has never looked more relevant.

This is not just a vintage Nautilus. It is the original Nautilus, in its rarest early two-tone configuration, with impeccable provenance and Patek service history.

A cornerstone for any serious collection, available now at Watch Club. EST. 1996.
