Patek Philippe

WHY THIS WATCH

Perhaps the most collectible and undervalued Nautilus on the market today. This Nautilus is exceptionally rare as it was only produced for two years from 2007-2008. The Patek 5800/1A-001 was released as part of Patek's 30th anniversary celebration and marked the release of the mid-size Nautilus, which was discontinued in the early 2000's. 

This watch has the original Patek mono-block case making it closer to Gerald Genta's original design patent than the 5711. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This is a one owner watch. The watch was worn exclusively by it's original owner and has signs of wear throughout the case and bracelet, see pictures. The crystal has a very minor blemish that is hard to see around the center of the dial (see wrist shot picture). The movement is running and there are no mechanical issues with the watch. The watch comes with outer box, inner Patek wood box, and paperwork.

WHY THIS WATCH

While Patek Philippe continues to churn out a range of iconic watches like the Nautilus, Perpetual Calendar, and Annual Calendar, it is still the Calatrava that embodies the essence of the brand. The Calatrava is understated, elegant, and carries inside it a top-notch mechanical movement.

The Calatrava ref. 3520 is a significant reference in the history of the Calatrava. It was the model that introduced the “Clou de Paris” (hobnail style) bezel. This  example includes a yellow gold 32mm round case topped with that now-famous bezel.  

This particular 3520 is all the more rare as the dial displays "Gubelin", an esteemed watch retailer that has been in existence since 1854.
