Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 4700/051 - "Very good" condition - German fullset

This Patek Philippe Nautilus, reference 4700/1J, in solid 18K yellow gold has a black-blue dial. It comes as a complete German full set, delivered new in Germany, with box, papers and all accessories.

Gérald Genta designed the Nautilus in 1976, with its porthole-shaped case and the two “ears” on the sides inspired by a ship’s porthole. It has become one of the most iconic watches ever made. Around 1980 Patek introduced the reference 4700, the first ladies’ Nautilus, bringing Genta’s design to a delicate size of about 27 mm while keeping everything that makes the Nautilus special. As with the large 3700, the cases were made by Favre-Perret and the dials by Stern Frères. This example is in solid yellow gold with an integrated gold bracelet and fold-over clasp. The black-blue dial has the classic horizontal Nautilus relief, gold hour markers and a date at 3 o’clock, a striking contrast against the warm gold.

Inside is Patek Philippe’s quartz calibre E19C, so it is always ready to wear.

Complete German full set: a rare early Nautilus in solid gold, a genuine piece of Genta design history, and much harder to find complete than its larger siblings.
