Patek Philippe Nautilus Jumbo 3700/1A Stainless Steel Blue Dial Men’s Watch

By Patek Philippe

The Patek Philippe Nautilus 3700/1A ‘Jumbo’ Stainless Steel Blue Dial (1976) marks the birth of one of the most iconic luxury sports watches ever created. Introduced at the Basel Fair in 1976, the original Nautilus challenged traditional watchmaking with its bold Gérald Genta design, integrated bracelet, and distinctive porthole-inspired case. Featuring the legendary horizontally embossed blue dial and powered by an ultra-thin automatic movement, the inaugural Reference 3700/1A remains one of the most historically significant and desirable vintage Patek Philippe watches ever produced.

As the very first Nautilus reference, the Patek Philippe 3700/1A from 1976 revolutionized the concept of luxury sports watches by combining stainless steel construction with the craftsmanship expected from one of the world’s finest watchmakers. Nicknamed the “Jumbo” thanks to its impressive 42mm case, the watch features Gérald Genta’s instantly recognizable porthole-inspired architecture with integrated “ears” and a beautifully tapered bracelet that flows seamlessly into the case. Its mesmerizing blue horizontally embossed dial displays exceptional depth and character, becoming one of the most recognizable dial designs in haute horlogerie. Inside beats the ultra-thin self-winding Calibre 28-255 C, based on the celebrated Jaeger-LeCoultre 920 architecture and admired for its precision, slim profile, and refined finishing. More than a timepiece, the 1976 Nautilus 3700/1A represents the beginning of a legend—an enduring symbol of innovation, elegance, and collectability that continues to define the luxury sports watch category nearly five decades later.

Jonathan Sterling

I was hesitant to buy a Rolex online, but the team at SHK Watches made the process completely stress-free. The watch arrived in mint condition with all the original box and papers. It was exactly as described on the site. Truly professional service and 100% authentic.

Alexander Thorne

Sourcing a Patek Philippe in such pristine condition is rare. SHK Watches delivered exactly what they promised. The transaction was smooth, and the shipping to London was incredibly fast and secure. A fantastic addition to my collection.

Rashid Al-Fayed

Great experience buying my Audemars Piguet. The pricing was very competitive compared to local dealers here in Dubai. The only reason for 4 stars is a slight delay in shipping updates, but the watch itself is flawless and stunning. Will definitely buy again.

Maximillian Weber

Buying a Richard Mille is a significant investment, so trust is key. SHK Watches provided full transparency, including a video call to view the timepiece before purchase. It arrived in Berlin safely. The attention to detail and customer care is world-class.

Sarah Jenkins

I purchased a pre-owned Cartier as a gift, and it looks brand new. The polishing and servicing were done perfectly. Shipping to Australia took about a week, which is reasonable. I appreciate the honest description of the watch condition on the website.

Daniel Tremblay

Fantastic service! I’ve been looking for this specific Omega for a while. SHK had the best price and the watch runs perfectly. The packaging was secure, and communication was prompt throughout the entire process. Highly recommended dealer.
