PATEK PHILIPPE, REF. 3710/1A-001, NAUTILUS, “COMET”, A FINE AND RARE STEEL BRACELET WATCH WITH POWER RESERVE AND DATE

Introduced in 1976, the design of the Patek Philippe Nautilus was inspired by portholes found on maritime vehicles. The original Reference 3700 was constructed with a monobloc case, replicating the way portholes were opened on vessels.

The present lot, Reference 3710/1A-001, is a whimsical take on the steel bracelet watch by Patek Philippe. The timepiece features a matte black dial with a power reserve that is slightly off-centered at the upper half. The playful indicator resembles a shoot star, leading to its moniker the “Comet”. The watch also features a date window in addition to luminous white gold hands and Roman hour markers. The 40mm bracelet watch measures at a thickness just above 8mm, making the timepiece extremely comfortable and streamline on the wrist.
