18k Gold Nautilus from august 1982 serial/case 1.310.xxx/xxx648
This timepiece is one of the only 1200 produced in gold (including diamond variation, large and thin bracelet) and this example with « doré » dial is estimated to have been produced in less than 30 pieces of which only 5 emerged in the market so far!
The dial is flawless. No imperfection. It has retained its original and classic color which is golden (« doré » in french) with «sigma SWISS sigma» at 6 o’clock indicating the use of gold for the index & hands.
The luminous are perfectly uniform & functioning with hands and index reacting to UV test.
The bezel retains the original angles & proportion characteristic of the Nautilus reference. The number in the bezel hinge matches the last 3 digits of the case as it should. The satin finish all over the watch is absolutely gorgeous. White gold « Nautilus » clasp.
The thin bracelet is made of 21 gold links. The calatrava has retained its relief.
This timepiece comes with its original guarantee, leaflets and black/red leather Patek Philippe box.
A fabulous and extremely rare piece.
