Patek Philippe Genève, "Nautilus Jumbo", Movement No. 1305437, Case No. 536466, Ref. 3700/1, Cal. 28-255C, 42 x 44 mm, circa 1978
A heavy vintage automatic Geneva wristwatch with date. In 2014 the watch was given a general overhaul by Patek Philippe; after the sale it was serviced in regular intervals. With original box, original certificate, original operating instructions, original sales receipt and hang tag, service invoices, correspondence with Patek Philippe and additional later original steel bracelet. A "full set" that is undoubtedly a must-have for any Patek Philippe Nautilus aficionado!
Case: steel, screwed on bezel, steel bracelet with deployant clasp. Dial: black.
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).
