Patek Philippe Nautilus Power Reserve
Complete, "Comet" Ref. 3710/1A-001
This Jumbo Patek Philippe Ref. 3710/1A-001 Nautilus "Comet" Is Complete. Accompanied with Its certificate of origin, instruction manual and presentation box. This example is in excellent condition with papers undated.
The reference 3710/1A-001 Nautilus automatic watch, features a 42 mm case. This is a stainless steel example with black roman dial and stainless steel bracelet with a fold-over clasp. Functions include hours, minutes and seconds, date and state of winding indication.
The 3710 was the new kid on the block from the Nautilus collection that was in production from 1998 until 2006. It was the first Nautilus model to feature a complication, which until then had always been a time-only wristwatch. The reference 3710/1A marked the first complication from all its predecessors; it was the first-ever Nautilus to have a complication other than the date function - it was an addition of a power reserve indicator. .
It was exclusively produced in stainless steel until it was discontinued in 2006, the 3710/1A is fitted with a matte black dial and applied Roman numerals that are filled with luminous materials to aid reading of the time display in a darker shade. The power reserve complication, or IZR for Indication de Zone de Remontage, is displayed between 11 and 12 oclock, a rather interesting placement adding to the charm.
With the arrival of ref. 3710/1A also marked the first time that the "Jumbo" case proportions were used in a Nautilus other than the original 3700, as part of the comeback of the Jumbo 42mm case diameter prized by collectors. Produced for only 8 years, it was a momentum piece that lead to future development by Patek Philippe to introduce further complications into the successful line of Nautilus.
