That's a massive move Kari
You've gathered a very fine piece of Patek recent history with this 3700 set, congratulations 
Did you have it serviced?
I handled one in a shop one day but I will be interested to know, in the future, if you think it is a watch we can use as an everyday wear or if it is too fragile for this purpose.
As I said earlier to a fellow purist, I really keep asking myself if I should go for a 5711/1A too. The problem is that there are other references I wish to get as well.
As for the second box, I don't think it is the 40th Nautilus but a second 3700 or a specific version? I know you can do unexpected way!
Thanks a lot for sharing this, I'm glad for you.
Cheers, Mark
Nautilus 40 years
If you look at the picture carefully, you can find the original Nautilus 3700-001 together with the instruction booklet, wallet and Certificate of Origin. In the same picture there's also the 30th Anniversary Nautilus. But what is in the other cork box? P...
Hi Kari, interesting thought! What did Patek do for the...

Don't you think that
3700-001 & 3700-011 would be the way to go. Yes, the watch in the picture is serviced but it will still go to Geneva for some adjustments... . This reference is so solidly built that for sure it works as a daily beater. The pictured watch was nearly 35 ye...
Indeed but as I'm not a specialist in the 3700 field
I must say I didn't go into the different versions. This is a very nice addition and would be worn in very different situations, thus very complementary. The J version with black dial is also a very attracting offer I think (maybe next time ). Thanks for ...
The two main versions are
3700-001 with the wide bracelet and 3700-011 with a narrower bracelet. Yes, the YG look good as well as the WG and P models. It's very personal but for me Nautilus is made of steel, just like the original 3700 was. Who would like to swim & dive with a wat...
I didn't know about the bracelet size
Much to discover about these early nautilus... Thank you. Cheers, Mark
That is some collection of the Nautilus. well done
I have never put one on my wrist but I suspect the 3700 is like a sub- solid and reliable Julian
I feel that
3700 is very different compared to 5711. The original is thinner but it does not feel fragile. And naturally, the tritium marked dial is somehow nicer. It's easy to find a 3700, more difficult to find with original papers, really much more with papers and...
Good idea...
Few people are able to see ' next ' and buy the whip before buying the horse ... Andrea
I thought that the whip
is for the wife. Who in heck would beat the horse! Best, Kari
