PATEK PHILIPPE · NAUTILUS Ref. 3700/11 · ca. 1981–1985 · 18K yellow gold · 42 mm Even without diamonds, a gold Nautilus Jumbo plays in the same league as a luxury SUV. This particular piece received the full ’80s upgrade: stones set later on the bezel, sides, and bracelet. An uncompromising presence. According to tradition, an unset watch was also an option. They chose this one. It served as collateral in a real estate deal, after which it disappeared into a safe for decades. Behind the extravagance lies the luxury chassis: an exceptionally well-preserved original blue relief dial and a remarkably fresh Caliber 28-255 C. Material: 18K yellow gold; white gold folding parts on the clasp; 376 subsequently set brilliant-cut diamonds, total approx. 7.0 ct · Weight: 147.0 g · Case number: 558616 · Movement number: 1308171 Case: The distinctive Nautilus shape in yellow gold, with side lugs and a softly rounded octagonal bezel. Bezel and sides retroactively set with brilliant-cut diamonds; sapphire crystal, two-piece case construction. Dial: Deep blue with horizontal relief, gold-colored baton indices, and luminescent material. Two slender hands and a date window at 3 o’clock; a serene center set within a sparkling frame. Movement: Automatic, Patek Philippe Caliber 28-255 C, Gyromax balance wheel, and Geneva Seal Functions: Two-hand watch, date Bracelet: Integrated Nautilus link bracelet in 18K yellow gold, retrofitted with brilliant-cut diamonds; wrist circumference approx. 185 mm Clasp: Signed folding clasp with 18K white gold flaps and a yellow gold cover featuring the Calatrava cross Box: No · Papers: No Condition: Well-maintained Nautilus case with minimal signs of wear, slightly softly polished bezel, and polishing marks on the clasp cover.
