SIGNED PATEK PHILIPPE, GENEVE, NAUTILUS MODEL, REF. 3800/3, MOVEMENT NO. 1'423'075, CASE NO. 2'804'428, MANUFACTURED IN 1983

Reference 3800 was in production from 1981 until 2006 and available in different versions. It pays homage to the original Nautilus reference 3700 with a similar design and aesthetic except in a smaller size case and with the addition of a centre seconds hand made possible by the introduction of cal. 335 SC.

3800/3 is a very rare variation of the 3800 family. The present example cased in gold is set with a total of 40 diamonds weighing approximately 0.97 carats on the bezel and 11 diamond hour-markers, as confirmed by the Extract from the Archives. The signature on the bottom of the dial is "O SWISS O" meaning the markers are made of gold.
