FS: Patek 3700 Jumbo Nautilus with Cork Box and Papers
Wed, 19 September 2012 16:10
I've owned this watch for many years, and it's time for it to move on to someone who will wear and appreciate it as much as I have.
This 3700 was manufactured in the first year of production for the Nautilus, 1976. It is accompanied by it's original cork box, PP archive extract and PP/Stern service papers. It is in excellent, unpolished condition, with original dial and hands. There are no deep scratches or dings, but there are light scratches and scuffs here and there indicative of 35 years of occasional and respectful wear. I elected not to have it polished at service, believing that a watch can always be polished, but can never be unpolished. So, I leave that choice to the next owner.
I have yet to take photos of the watch and accessories, and will when someone who is potentially serious about acquiring it asks me to. That is to say that I won't respond to "what's your best price" inquiries, but only to those who seem informed and genuinely interested. Price? I'm offering the package at $29,000 wired. I'm afraid I won't give it up for much less, so please reserve lowball offers. I'd prefer a face to face delivery in the NY/CT/NJ area, but open to shipping in the US only, terms TBD.
