I was quite surprised when Patek included these 50th Anniversary Nautilus watches as part of its 2026 W&W presentation. I think this was a mistake and a lost opportunity.

IMO these historically important watches have received a somewhat diminished response compared to the the reception they would have received as an exclusive release at a different time of year. Partly responsible for this reaction I believe is the creativ

I'm one of those people who are confused by the 3710!

But I have to admit, as confusing and confounding the 3710 can be, it is undeniably a very handsome and under appreciated Nautilus! I really like your 3800 - with the matching color date disc. Sharp looking piece - but looking at your wrist size, I think

Patrick my story goes back a few years.

I was offered a ref 3700 at an extraaordinary price of around 25kpounds. I knew nothing about the different dials and I still do not know if that watch was all original or had a service dial. BuI met M Stanga and my education began I learned all about the

I found 3800 too small on my wrist,

but of course it depends on the size of one’s wrist and on one’s tastes. Also because of my personal tastes, I like the “simple” 5711 better than the 5712. But it’s just a personal preference. But I’m sure your 3800 makes a great duo with your 5065! Thank

I love my 3800. I had both for about a month or two and I wore 3800 way more so I keep it. For me that first picture of yours is just why I didn’t like it. I like seeing some bracelet when I look down at the watch on my wrist plus there is just a lot of e

Beautiful watch. Thank you for sharing.

Was considering 5167 Aquanaut and found out that the 5065 firs my 6.75"/17cm wrist perfectly. Was always intrigued by 3800 Nautilus (never had a chance to try it on) and worried that it would be on a smaller side....but judging from your pics, I think it

One of the members of this site asked me to take a wrist shot of the Nautilus 3800 so that he could see the size of it. My wrist size is 17.2cm.

The 3800 blue dial was available in several colors, from light to dark (according to a collected man), and the dark navy one was said to have the French word ”noir" written on the warranty. Is my dial medium blue? Photo taken from the ”a collected man" we

Beautiful watch and thank you for sharing these nice images.

Recently I have been checking 3800J/3 Nautilus quite a bit..... unfortunately I've never had a chance to try 3800 on my wrist in person. I do own 5065 on strap (and bracelet) and the watch is about perfect size to my eyes on my 6.75" (cca 17cm) wrist. Act

Might just be the best of the Nautilus reference. It was about the design of the case & the 3800 is the refinement of it.
