About This Watch

Pre-owned, rare & highly sought after. Comes with complete boxes(lining cracked) & archive certificate.

A discontinued model. The Ref.3710 Nautilus is one of the most sought after model from Patek Philippe. Introduced in 1998 and only made for a few years in steel with black dial only. There are no other versions and it came with a very interesting power reserve indicator styled like a comet which rotates around it's axis. It is said that only 2000pcs were produced but we cannot confirm and this was the only jumbo since the original Ref.3700. It adheres to the original Gérald Gènta monocoque design with the two pc case and is very slim at 8mm for an automatic watch.

Watch is in original condition & never polished. It shows general surface wear with a few marks on the flat bezel that can be easily polished away. This watch maintains it's crisp edges while the bracelet has full links. It can be polished by Patek for S$400+ with a full service @ S$2000+/-. While we do cover a one-year warranty on this watch with a full service by our in-house technicians and it can be polished upon request at no charge so yes, this watch can be sold as it is now or you may opt for a polish later @ your convenience free of charge within a year.

This is a one owner's watch from new and serviced once about 5yrs ago. It was purchased new from The Hour Glass but the pouch containing the cert and manual were lost over time and an archive certificate has been received stating that this watch was manufactured in 2004 and sold on 31st April 2004; making this a late production piece. Coincidentally, the serial number of this watch is very nice.

Here's an excellent article by Monochrome on Nautilus and this model can be read here.

This is a far rarer watch than the regular blue dial cousins and the recently discontinued 5711/1A has surpassed S$150K to over S$300K now. The 5711/1A has no complications and is slightly thicker. The 3710/1A is a low production model in jumbo size and will be a conversation piece at any watch gatherings. In 2015, a unique piece with a Roman XIII known as Lucky 13 on the 8 o'clock position was sold in auction for CHF254600 (S$353,000) while an exact model like ours here (also with archive) was sold by Phillips in Dec 2018 for US$102500 while others on Chrono24 can be found well above S$150K, making ours the cheapest in the market. This model is not available anymore and the value will only continue to rise with low production nos and strong interest.
