## Caption

Sotheby’s Sales Director m_a_n_e_g_a highlights the patekphilippe Nautilus reference 3700, designed by Gérald Genta in 1976, which was the first sport watch in the 137-year history of the manufacture. It was voluminous and made of steel, although the prevailing trend favored very slender watches in gold. It was water resistant to 120 meters, a sensation at the time. And unlike any other wristwatch, it embodied a maritime, nautical aspect. The reference 3700 was in production until 1990.

Presented in our Important Watches auction on 10 May.
