Patek Philippe Stainless Steel Mid-Size Nautilus - Ref. 3900/1

Here we have  an exceptional example of the Patek Philippe Nautilus Reference 3900/1 in stainless steel.   Introduced in the 1980s as a mid-size companion to the legendary "Jumbo" Ref. 3700, the Ref. 3900 strikes a perfect, versatile balance on the wrist. It retains the exact proportions, iconic integrated bracelet, and Gérald Genta design language of the original, but in a size that suits modern preferences for understated elegance.   This piece features the highly desirable, classic ribbed Sigma dial.  The original dial with deep blue-gray gradient shifting in different lighting conditions represents vintage Nautilus styling at its absolute best. The date window sits cleanly at 3 o'clock, complemented by luminous hands and index markers that have aged gracefully.  The stainless steel case  is in excellent condition and has retained all its original edges.   This lovely and collectible watch comes with an Archive from Patek Philippe.
