In 1976 Patek Philippe launched its first Nautilus model. At this time, luxury sports watches are expected to be as thin as possible, so this large watch with its brawny ship's porthole design is completely novel. The first model of the collection is the Ref. 3700/1; a Swiss patent is awarded for its water-resistant case (up to 120 meters).
This reference 3711 is the white gold successor of reference 3700 and was launched in 2004, with a fairly short production run of three years only. The beautiful, overall design remains that of the "Jumbo Nautilus" with automatic calibre 315 but has an additional central second.
