The Patek Philippe Nautilus 3710/1A-001 is a milestone reference within the Nautilus lineage, introduced in 1998 as the first model in the collection to feature a complication beyond time and date. Its 40 mm stainless steel “Jumbo” case retains the porthole-inspired design and integrated bracelet that define the Nautilus, while its black dial departs from the signature horizontal embossing in favor of a smooth lacquered finish. Applied Roman numerals and luminous hands lend balance, while a fan-shaped power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock adds both visual intrigue and functional utility.
Powered by the automatic Caliber 330 SC IZR, this reference was produced until 2006, giving it a relatively short production span compared to other Nautilus models. Its rarity, combined with its unique dial configuration, has elevated it into a highly sought-after collectible. The 3710/1A-001 remains prized as a transitional reference that marries Nautilus sport-luxury DNA with the discreet addition of horological complexity.
