Leading the watch industry in popularity, the Nautilus collection has broken many records and achieved new heights in the past five years. Designed in collaboration with the legendary watch maker Gerald Genta, the Nautilus was created as the first luxury sport watch by Patek Philippe. The reference 3800 along with the reference 3700 and 4700 became the founding pillars of the collection. 


While many are familiar with the more common stainless steel case and blue dial version of the reference 3800, the reference 3800 was in fact made available in many different combinations of metal, dial design and movements. The present example of a stainless steel case with white dial is one that is hardly available to locate in the secondary market today. Bearing a white dial, the present watch provides an indifferent charismatic charm to the watch. In great condition and with evenly tropical luminous markers, the watch shows all the correct signs of a vintage watch.
