Patek Philippe

Inspired by HSTE's Nautilus thread

Mark suggested I post these pics of my 3700/011 again in a new thread. I posted these as a reply yesterday after seeing HSTE's thread of his 3700/01.

A little background: I got my 3700/011 recently this year. It came from the original first owner. It had gone through a full overhaul before the owner sold it. So it looks in very good condition. Truthfully I have spent most of the summer wearing a different watch that has a strong hold on me so I've not worn the Nautilus enough to really bond to it. Hopefully over time. It is very easy to photograph under natural sunlight. I went out yesterday to take some pics with my little girl at a park (divided equally of course between pics of her and of my Nautilus). Luckily the park was not very populated so no one could have thought why there was a crazy man taking pictures of his watch while his little girl ran around unsupervised...

(Forgive the dust on the watch, I was not smart enough to bring a soft cloth to wipe my Nautilus)

Looks very nice!

I'll join with my 3700-001 & 3700-011. These watches moved in with us very close to each others. I had decided very much earlier to get both versions but with strict conditions: - with all original papers like Certificate of Origin and manual - with origi...

Dear Kari, thanks! your Nautilus twins are spectacular!

I remember reading your posts earlier in the year and it was very inspiring. --Joe

Thank you Joe.

One day, it's in my agenda, I'll write a post about 3 Nautilus pairs: - 3700-001 vs. 3700-011 - 3712 vs. 5712 - 5711 blue vs. 5711 white Just waiting the right time (and inspiration). Best, Kari

I can't wait! [nt]

You have to wait a bit. Some pictures need to be taken. [nt]

By: dr.kol : July 17th, 2016-12:14

I look forward to your future post too.

By: Joepny : July 17th, 2016-12:20

especially about the 3712. it is the one I am most curious about.

I think 3712 needs a lot of understanding.

By: dr.kol : July 17th, 2016-12:23

It looks so similar than 5712 but at the same time 3712 is so totally different. I'm mostly speaking about the case. Best, Kari

Very artistic pictures of a very nice watch! [nt]

haha yes i love the beauty found in nature :-)

By: Joepny : July 17th, 2016-11:49

but nature is normally not permanent. Flowers live a few days or weeks. Lucky for us, beautiful timepieces can live forever if taken cared for.

Very true words. Enjoy and take care of it

Unknow

Pardon for my ignorance. But what is the difference this 3700 and 5711 Nautilus? Cheers and good sunday! EJR888

Two different watches...

By: dr.kol : July 17th, 2016-12:28

3700 was produced from 1976 and discontinued some 10 years later while 5711 has been in production since 2006. Some of the main differences are: - 3700 is having a great JLC based movement - same as used e.g. in AP's 15202 while 5711 is having a manufactu...

Thank you too much for the explanations! Cheers. EJR888

It was not a complete list but a good start. [nt]

Dear EJR, I am a poor expert

By: Joepny : July 17th, 2016-12:30

so you may be better off researching online by Googling those keywords "Patek 3700" "Patek 5711". Here is my poor man's explanation: 3700 is the original reference that is discontinued, now about 40 years old. more precisely, it was 3700/01A. I have the 3...
