Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800/1 Steel 1989

Compact Icon, Complete Provenance — Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800/1

The Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800/1 represents the second generation of the iconic Nautilus line — a refined and more compact evolution of Gérald Genta’s original 3700 design. Introduced in the early 1980s, the 3800 features a perfectly balanced 37.5 mm stainless steel case, maintaining all the signature Nautilus elements: the rounded octagonal bezel, “ears” on the sides, and the horizontally ribbed anthracite dial.

Inside ticks the ultra-thin Caliber 335 SC, offering date and sweep seconds with a slim profile and precision performance. The original integrated stainless steel bracelet provides a seamless and elegant fit, blending sportiness with effortless sophistication.

What sets this piece apart is its original Patek Philippe certificate — confirming it was first sold in March 1989 at a German jeweler in Erlangen.

An exceptional collector’s find.
