A defining icon of late 20th-century watch design, the Patek Philippe Nautilus reference 3700/11 in 18K yellow gold embodies the perfect harmony between sportiness and refinement. Designed by Gérald Genta and introduced in 1976, the Nautilus revolutionized luxury watchmaking with its bold yet elegant form — a vision that continues to resonate deeply with collectors today.
This 1984 example represents one of the most coveted configurations of the reference: the full 18K yellow gold variant paired with a striking matte black dial adorned with diamond hour markers. The dial’s understated opulence enhances the watch’s distinctive porthole design, while the softly brushed surfaces of the case and integrated bracelet reflect Patek Philippe’s unparalleled finishing standards.
Originally sold in Istanbul, Turkey, this watch is preserved in excellent overall condition, retaining its sharp edges, full proportions, and beautifully defined bevels. Its state of preservation speaks of careful ownership and respect for one of Patek Philippe’s most important modern-era creations.
Offered as a complete full set, this exceptional 3700/11 is accompanied by its original certificate of origin, presentation box, outer cover box, leather folder, booklets, and extract from the Patek Philippe Archives — a remarkable ensemble rarely encountered. Together, they attest to the watch’s authenticity, provenance, and collector-grade status.
