Lot Essay

The present reference 4700/1 is an attractive and early representative of the smallest size model of the Nautilus collection, made in 1981, year of introduction of the model.

Fresh to the market and in well-preserved overall condition, it is furthermore distinguished by the unusual champagne or gilt-coloured dial, confirmed by the Extract from the Archives.

Reference 4700 was in production from 1981 until 2004 and was available in different versions as to case material and dial colour.

An example of a ref. 4700 in steel with black dial is illustrated in John Goldberger's Patek Philippe Steel Watches, pp. 376 & 377.
