附帶後補資料庫精粹

A few years after the launch of the first Nautilus reference 3700, Patek Philippe decided to upgrade the collection to reference 3800 with center seconds for better legibility. Produced between 1981 and 2006, the current example made in 1983 is one of the earlier watches to leave the Patek Philippe factory. Always known for the stainless steel examples, the full gold Nautilus variants have always been under the radar in terms of popularity but in fact, they are the true definition of a luxury sports watch. Furthermore, the indexes, bezel and center bracelet links are lavishly adorned with 474 8/8 diamonds weighing approximately 2.37 carats in total, elevating the beauty to another level.
