The present Patek Philippe Nautlius reference 3800/108 is offered in mint overall condition with a beautifully diamond-set bezel, dial and bracelet. Bestowed with highly appealing baguette-cut sapphire hour markers of the highest quality, the timepiece is set with approximately 220 diamonds weighing a total of 7.00 carats.
Available from 1981 to 2006, the Nautilus reference 3800 was crafted with a case measuring 37 mm and featured a sweep centre seconds hand, date and metallic bracelet. Throughout its production period, the reference 3800 was offered in a large array of styles, with cases made of steel, steel and gold, yellow, pink and white gold and platinum. Part of the rarest and most lavish iterations of the model, the present timepiece was made in extremely scarce amount, exemplifying the skills of Patek Philippe watchmakers and once more redefining what was commonly accepted as a ‘sports watch’.
