{"product_id":"stainless-steel-patek-philippe-nautilus-4700","title":"Stainless Steel Patek Philippe Nautilus 4700 1987","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA stainless steel Patek Philippe Nautilus. As iconic watches go in the collecting world, there are fewer that get the pulses racing than the Patek Philippe Nautilus. Initially released in 1976, this was the brand's response to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, an avant-garde luxury stainless steel sports watch born out of AP's need to survive the Quartz Crisis. Designed by Gèrald Genta, the same man behind the Royal Oak, the Nautilus drew inspiration from a porthole, featuring a rounded-over octagonal bezel and hinge-like protrusions on the case. With its signature horizontally embossed dial and iconic integrated bracelet, the Nautilus has become one of the most sought-after watches today, thanks to its timeless design, exclusivity, and impeccable craftsmanship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterestingly, the Nautilus did not receive a warm reception upon its initial release, largely due to its sizable 42mm case. Recognizing this, Patek Philippe debuted a 28mm quartz-powered ladies' variant, the ref. 4700, in 1980. This allowed female customers to experience the Nautilus' unique design and gradually warm to its aesthetic. The success of the ref. 4700 prompted Patek to launch the mid-sized Nautilus ref. 3800 for men in 1981, marking the beginning of the model's meteoric rise to become the brand's most coveted and collectible watch, much like the Royal Oak before it. The ref. 4700A now merges the Nautilus' unique history and heritage into a single, tremendous timepiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, the watch is in good condition. It appears to be unpolished, there is wear to the case, as one would expect from a steel sports watch from 1987. If so desired we can arrange for the watch to be professionally polished. The dial is in perfect condition. This is a rare watch today. To find complete versions of this icon are becoming increasingly difficult. This may, in fact, be the only example on sale currently in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe watch is a full set.
