Patek Philippe Shocks The World
In 1976 Patek Philippe shocked the world with the launch of the first Nautilus model. During this time luxury sport watches had to be by default ultra thin and made from solid gold. No one dreamt a premier Swiss watch manufacturer to come out with a ship’s porthole inspired stainless steel watch capable of withstanding depth inversions of 120 meters.
The Nautilus Momentum
Since 1976 the Nautilus has remained an icon of design and a classic. With books and auctions attributed to its existence the Nautilus has remained practically unchanged. Every Nautilus is beautiful but some examples are more special than others.

Some Are More Special Than Others
The Patek 3800 with diamond hour markers is a rare watch in and of itself. Not many were manufactured and out of those made not many are being offered at this moment.
Within the rarity of the watch is another component that makes it even rarer and that is its platinum casing. The metal is not readily found on Patek sport models and those who want one sometimes have to personally request them directly from the manufacture in Geneva. Now, if that was not rare enough add the original box and papers to the mix. Here we have a perfect hat trick of a watch. Patek Philippe 3800 in platinum with its original box and papers.
