Catalogue Note

Reference 3711/1G was launched at the Basel Fair in 2004. In 2006, the model was discontinued when Patek Philippe celebrated the Nautilus's 30th anniversary and launched the new 5700 and 5800 series. The size of the Reference 3711/1G (diameter 42 mm) makes it one of the largest time-only watches ever made by Patek Philippe.
