Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800 'Roman'
Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800/1 — Compact Elegance, Signed in Steel
The Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800 is the quietly confident sibling in the Nautilus family — slimmer, more refined, and purposefully scaled at 37.5mm. This particular example, dating to 2006, offers a highly sought-after configuration: a Roman numeral dial paired with feuille hands, adding a layer of classical elegance to the sport-luxury icon.
The watch remains in excellent condition, with its sharp case lines, integrated bracelet, and signature porthole bezel preserved beautifully. The dial shows depth and detail, with crisp white markers that contrast perfectly against the steel case — restrained yet unmistakably Patek.
Powered by the automatic caliber 330 SC, visible through a solid caseback, the 3800 balances technical performance with a more understated, wearable aesthetic than its larger 3700 and 5711 counterparts.
This example comes with an Extract from the Archives, confirming its production and delivery, as well as a Patek Philippe travel pouch — the kind of provenance that completes the picture for collectors.
