Why We Love it

The Nautilus is without question one of the great horological icons of the 1970s, and has in recent years once again become one of the most in-demand timepiece models on the planet.

Collectors and prospectors alike are clamoring to get their hands on Genta's second great luxury sports watch, and with the recent news of the discontinuation of their current collection steel model - the Reference 5711 - this dramatic rise shows no signs of slowing down. 

Interestingly, most demand for Nautilus models is centered around Jumbo models in steel, something we can't fully wrap our heads around...

This particular Nautilus, a Reference 3800/001, is quite simply, a gorgeous example of an oft-overlooked Nautilus model. Featuring a solid 18K yellow gold 35mm case and matching integrated bracelet, Patek's Calibre 330SC automatic movement, and a stunning luminous cream dial with applied yellow gold indices and a matching handset, this neo-vintage charmer must be seen to be fully appreciated. 

This exquisite piece also comes complete with its box set, books, certificate of origin, watermarked purchase letter, and original purchase receipt from 1996.

The Nautilus - in any of its variations - is a very special thing. This midsize yellow gold variation, however, we find to be one the the very best all around executions, and for virtually any wrist.

Once again, this piece must be seen to be fully appreciated!
