SIGNED PATEK PHILIPPE, GENEVE, NAUTILUS MODEL, REF. 3800/001, FIRST SERIES, MOVEMENT NO. 1'420'735, CASE NO. 559'725, CIRCA 1983

A treasured possession of the the original owner for almost 40 years, the present reference 3800/1 is a highly attractive example of the reference 3800 in yellow gold. It is most exciting that it has never been offered in public before. Always treated with respect and care, the case is preserved in excellent overall condition. The case has never been subject to polishing, underlined by the full proportions and the clearly visible and crisp hallmarks. The rarity of the present watch is enhanced by the presence of the Certificate of Origin stamped by the Singaporean retailer 'The Hour Glass' and the period presentation box.

Reference 3800
The reference 3800 was in production from 1981 until 2006 and available in different versions. It was a mid-size version of the Nautilus reference 3700 and carried the same design aesthetics. It was presented in a smaller size case (37.5 mm. as opposed to 42 mm.) and the dial featured a centre seconds hand made possible by the introduction of the Patek Philippe Cal. 335 SC.
