The Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800/1 in yellow gold with a blue dial is a quintessential vintage timepiece that captures the elegance and sportiness of the iconic Nautilus collection. Introduced in 1983, this mid-size variant of the legendary 3700/1A retains the distinctive porthole-inspired case shape designed by Gérald Genta while offering a more wearable 37.5mm diameter, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate timeless proportions.

The rich blue dial, adorned with the Nautilus’s signature horizontal embossing, provides a striking contrast against the warm glow of the 18k yellow gold case and integrated bracelet. The gold applied hour markers, filled with luminous material, ensure optimal readability, while the classic date window at 3 o’clock adds practical functionality. The slim bezel and refined case architecture enhance the watch’s elegant yet sporty character.

Powered by the ultra-thin automatic Caliber 335 SC, the Nautilus 3800/1 delivers precision and reliability, embodying Patek Philippe’s legacy of haute horology. The beautifully finished movement, visible through the solid caseback, showcases the brand’s meticulous craftsmanship. The integrated yellow gold bracelet with a fold-over clasp offers a seamless, luxurious fit on the wrist.

Best purchase experience I could have imagined. Donald from Wrist Aficionado was very helpful and responsive whether by text, phone call or email. Shared videos with me and helped me get the watch I have been chasing for sometime. I have found my preferred watch dealer and will be a repeat customer. Payment processed same day and the watch ship later that day. A Very Happy Customer. Thank you everyone at the WA team!

Dealing with Vadim was a pleasure. The price was very fair and the communication and service was perfect. I buy a lot of watches and this experience was as good as they get. The audemars piguet arrived right on time and packaged beautifully. They even threw in a little gift!
