An iconic early two-tone Nautilus, reference 3700/1AJ, combining stainless steel and yellow gold with the celebrated blue ribbed dial and integrated bracelet. A highly collectible “Jumbo” Nautilus offered watch only.
A highly attractive and historically important Patek Philippe Nautilus reference 3700/1AJ, representing one of the most desirable early executions of Gérald Genta’s landmark design. Combining the unmistakable architecture of the original “Jumbo” Nautilus with a refined two-tone steel and yellow gold construction, this reference offers a compelling balance between sport, elegance, and vintage character.
The defining feature of the watch is its classic dark blue horizontally ribbed dial, fitted with applied gold baton hour markers, matching hands, and a date aperture at 3 o’clock. The warm tone of the yellow gold bezel and central bracelet links gives the watch a more elevated and dress-oriented presence, while preserving the sharp, porthole-inspired case design that made the Nautilus one of the most important luxury sports watches ever produced.
Reference 3700/1AJ holds particular appeal among collectors as an early two-tone variant of the original Nautilus family. Its broad bezel, slim profile, and integrated bracelet capture the design language that defined an era and continues to shape modern high-end sports watches today. Offered watch only, this example remains an especially appealing choice for collectors seeking an early Nautilus with strong presence, historical importance, and unmistakable vintage Patek Philippe charm.
