Classic Nautilus DNA — Refined in a Mid-Size Masterpiece - Patek Philippe 3900
The Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 3900 distills everything that makes the Nautilus iconic — Gérald Genta’s signature porthole design, the ribbed dial, and integrated bracelet — into a rare, slimmer 32.5 mm format. Introduced in the early 1980s, this reference is perfect for those who seek the elegance of the Nautilus in a more understated size.
With its rounded octagonal bezel, protruding “ears,” and anthracite blue ribbed dial, the watch exudes quiet confidence.
This example comes in fantastic condition, retaining all the crisp lines of the original case and bracelet. It got an upgrade to a diamond index dial in the past, since it was born with the regular Nautilus dial.
The Nautilus 3900 is more than a smaller sibling — it’s a rare and refined chapter in the legacy of Patek Philippe’s most iconic design.
