PATEK PHILIPPE Nautilus
18k Yellow Gold
ref. 3800/01J
For the most delicate of us this 37.5mm timepiece is the alternative to its « Jumbo » sister the Nautilus ref.3700 (41mm). A true unisex watch! You have been warned, Madame will most likely borrow it more often that you would like. The watch proposed here is part of the last series.
Movement/serial: 3.02x.xxx/x.xxx.628 (1999)
Dial: Deep yet bright blue respecting the specifications Mr. Stern imposed to Mr Genta: « the true color of the ocean ». Sigma . SWISS . Sigma at 6h white date disc and no accent on the GENEVE are typical features of the post 1989 dials. Same for the. Yellow gold hour index markers filled with luminous material perfectly matching the one of the hands. It flashes green and vanishes quickly which is how the tritium reacts although the extract says superluminova.
Case: very nice and thick case revealing no polishing history. The sharp 3D calatrava cross on the clasp speaks for itself. Diameter 37.5mm. Thickness 7.9mm. Weight 141g.
Bracelet: the bracelet is tight and it proudly stands-up. 20 links. Nautilus clasp of last generation.
