With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1979 and its subsequent sale on June 17 of the following year. Further accompanied by a fitted black presentation box and outer packaging.

According to our research the present watch has never before been offered in public.

The legendary Nautilus collection was introduced in 1976 when Patek Philippe was looking for a strong design of inimitable personality. An inspiration for such a timepiece soon emerged: The universal shape of a porthole found on virtually all maritime vessels. Since then, the Nautilus has established itself as a classic elegant sports watch and the original reference, 3700/1 such as this watch, is one of the most sought-after timepieces at auction.

The model is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, second edition, p. 231.
