Specialist note

Preserved in very clean and crisp condition this example of the white gold reference 3711 shows perfectly the classic proportions of the original “Jumbo” Nautilus whilst subtle updating provides greater depth to the case.

In 2004 Patek Philippe introduced the reference 3711 in white gold utilizing the caliber 315 SC movement. It is very similar to the reference 3700 but features centre seconds and a slightly thicker case.

The model was in production for a relatively short time between 2004 and 2007. Less than ten examples have come back to the market since then.
