1978 Patek Philippe Nautilus 3700/1A

Case: The 42mm case is excellent, showing sharp beveling and only light wear from use. The stainless bezel is also in excellent condition, showing only light wear from use. There is some light scratching present on the edge of the crystal located near the 11 o'clock marker.

Dial: The slightly newer dot index Sigma dial is excellent, showing little if any wear for its age. The lume has aged to a warm, creamy hue, and the hands match perfectly.

Bracelet: The 19-link Nautilus bracelet is excellent, showing only light stretch for its age. The clasp was replaced at a service with a double deployment Patek clasp. The bracelet will fit wrists up to 7.25" (18.4cm).

Accessories: None.

Notes: On the wrist, the vintage service parts are indistinguishable from a period-correct model. $120,000 for a slightly older dial and non-deployment clasp, or this beauty at $92,000. One million times better than a 5711 (which is also more money).
