Description
A rare and striking fusion of two of Patek Philippe’s most iconic design languages — the Nautilus and the Golden Ellipse — this Ref. 3770 “Nautellipse” represents a bold moment in the Maison’s history. Produced in the early 1980s, the model showcases the avant-garde spirit of the era while upholding the timeless sophistication for which Patek Philippe is renowned.
The 35mm stainless steel case features an elegantly rounded rectangular silhouette, combining the porthole-inspired lugs of the Nautilus with the elliptical contours of the Golden Ellipse. Its vertically brushed silver dial is framed by a minimalist bezel and adorned with slender black baton hour markers and matching hands, offering a pure and understated display.
Housed within is Patek Philippe’s ultra-thin Caliber E27 quartz movement — a reflection of the technical innovation and refined aesthetics that defined the brand’s response to the quartz era. This example is fitted with a supple black leather strap, complementing the steel case’s modernist clarity.
Highly collectible and increasingly sought after, the Ref. 3770 is a discreet statement of design intellect and horological heritage — a perfect choice for the connoisseur who appreciates quiet rarity.
