PATEK PHILIPPE
NAUTILUS, REF 3800/1
STAINLESS STEEL WRISTWATCH WITH DATE AND BRACELET
MADE IN 1987
Dial: black-blue
Caliber: cal. 335SC automatic, 29 jewels
Movement number: 1'425'520
Case: stainless steel Nautilus
Case number: 2'831'891
Closure: stainless steel Patek Philippe bracelet and folding clasp
Dimensions: 35 mm, bracelet circumference approx. 180 mm
Signed: case, dial and movement
Accessories: Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming date of sale on March 3rd, 1987
The three quarter size Nautilus was produced between 1981 and 2006. Collectors have acknowledged 4 different iterations over the course of its life. The present example bears the caliber 335SC with the "quick change" functionality, essentially a direct crown setting allowing to set the date in instant jumps, attributing it to the second generation for this reference, produced between 1987 and 1992.
The stainless steel case was manufactured by Favre-Perret and the dials by Stern Créations. The slightly more conservative case size ensures this timepiece perfectly fits a wrist which would not necessarily accommodate the larger, Jumbo size.
