Legend has it that Gerald Genta conceptualized the Nautilus watch within a matter of minutes while observing a luxurious dinner with Patek Philippe executives in a restaurant. This occurred during the challenging period of the 1970s quartz watch crisis. Despite its quick inception, the Nautilus design has stood the test of time and enjoyed over 40 years of success. A timepiece that can thrive for such a duration rightfully earns an iconic status. The present reference 3800 of the Nautilus model showcases a captivating and uncommon black dial adorned with Roman numerals, adding to its allure and desirability.
