Consigned by a private collector, the present timepiece is an attractive example of the reference 3800 in yellow gold. The case is preserved in very good overall condition underlined by the clearly visible hallmarks.
Reference 3800
The reference 3800 was in production from 1981 until 2006 and available in different versions. It was a mid-size version of the Nautilus reference 3700 and carried the same design aesthetics. It was presented in a smaller size case (37.5 mm. as opposed to 42 mm.) and the dial featured a center seconds hand made possible by the introduction of the Patek Philippe Cal. 335 SC.
