The Patek Philippe Nautilus 3700/1A, often called the “Jumbo,” is an iconic watch that transformed the luxury sports watch scene when it launched in 1976. Designed by Gérald Genta, it features a distinctive porthole-inspired aesthetic and an integrated bracelet, making it stand out in any collection. The 40mm stainless steel case showcases a captivating blue dial with horizontal ridges and white gold hour markers. With a slim thickness of only 7.6mm, it houses the ultra-thin automatic caliber 28-255 C movement. Collectors highly sought this model, and it's celebrated as a pivotal moment in watchmaking history, signaling a departure from conventional dress watches.
