The last independent, family-owned watchmaker still operating in Geneva today, Patek Philippe is a lodestar of horology. Founded in 1839, the brand has led the charge in numerous watchmaking breakthroughs, including the introduction of a keyless winding system in 1845 and the first perpetual calendar in 1925. Patek Philippe’s long history of marrying technical excellence with aesthetic elegance has earned the brand bold-faced fans such as Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela, and Pablo Picasso. The Calatrava, one of the brand’s most iconic models, epitomizes the Patek Philippe style: understated, refined, timeless. The Gérald Genta-designed Nautilus, introduced in 1976, applied Patek’s DNA to a steel sports watch — an exceedingly smart everyday timepiece that remains a pillar of the brand’s collection. While there is undoubtedly a Patek Philippe look, the brand is just as notable for the movements beating inside its timepieces. The Graves Supercomplication, commissioned by industrialist Henry Graves and completed in 1933, is one of the most complicated watches ever made, boasting 24 different functions. Sotheby’s 2014 sale of the Graves Supercomplication set and holds the record for the highest price paid for a watch at auction. From intricately hand-painted dials to mind-baffling complications, Patek Philippe contemporary creations continue to raise the bar in watchmaking — each new model becoming an instant classic.

The <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/patek-philippe/nautilus" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nautilus</a> is a watch that needs no introduction and is nothing less than one of the most recognizable watches in the world. However, after the release of the original 3700 “Jumbo” in 1976, <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/patek-philippe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patek Philippe</a> began to experiment with different case sizes and dial designs in order to appeal to all audiences. By the 1980s, they had established a rule of three which would run until the end of the 20th century: the Jumbo, the Mid-Size 3800 and the small-size quartz. The present 3800 comes from one of the later batches of production,with the reference being retired in 2006. It does not feature the iconic ribbed dial, and instead is fitted with a glossy black flat dial with Roman numerals, giving this watch a very distinct look.
