Patek Philippe Nautilus 3711/1g Black Dial

A rare and elegant iteration of the iconic Nautilus collection, the Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 3711/1G blends Nautilus’ iconic design with understated luxury to create what is one of Patek Philippe’s most prototypical ‘if you know, you know’ watches. Designed by Gérald Genta in 1976, the Nautilus has become one of the most recognizable and sought-after watches in the world thanks to its iconic marriage of sports watch aesthetics and Patek Philippe’s signature craftsmanship.Produced for an incredibly short time between 2004 and 2006 before being discontinued in line with the Nautilus ref. 5711’s launch in 2006, the ref. 3711/1G features an 18kt white gold case and a sleek black horizontally-embossed dial, offering a more understated and discreet, yet highly exclusive, take on the iconic design. Maintaining the Nautilus’ porthole-inspired case, rounded octagonal bezel, and integrated bracelet, but featuring a blacked-out dial, the watch is intensely elegant, just like how Patek Philippe typically designs their watches. The use of 18kt white gold instead of the Nautilus’ typical stainless steel adds a level of refinement, while the black dial offers a striking contrast to its bright construction material, making the Nautilus ref. 3711 variant a rare gem in the collection and a favorite among collectors for its understated opulence and exceptional rarity.
