Up for grabs is “The Comet” Nautilus ref. 3710/1A was introduced in 1998 with a power reserve indicator, a first complication aside from date for the Nautilus family. This reference was made exclusively in stainless steel, “Jumbo” 42mm case with striking matte black dial.
This example is fresh to market and comes from its original owner, who purchased it at Wempe, an authorized Patek Philippe dealer, in May of 2006 (and saved the receipt to prove so). The purchase date and the very late serial numbers of the watch make it one of the last 3710’s to be delivered by Patek before being discontinued.
Luckily, the original owner also kept the original boxes, the manuals, the warranty papers, and the sleeve for the watch. He also never filled out nor sent in the PP registration card. Then, as a cherry on top of it all, he also had the watch serviced by Patek Philippe in August of 2023 before ultimately selling it to me. A very tight bracelet completes the checklist for any collector to have interest in this example.
The watch remains in excellent condition without dings or dents. Bracelet is linked to fit about a 7.75″ wrist.
