Among all Patek’s masterpieces, in the last years there is one which has gained a really special place in people’s heart thanks to its unique design: the Nautilus. It first saw light in 1976 and it has being advertised as a watch that worked equally well with a wet suit as with a dinner suit. Coming from yet another great idea by Gerald Genta it has been realized in many different materials and with many complications, all having in common the shape of the case looks like a porthole with protruding “ears” on each side of the case and with an eight-sided, curved bezel. This particular model offered here is a very rare and unusual reference 4700 realized in Stainless Steel and Yellow Gold with bracelet and quartz movement. Its stainless steel and yellow-gold case features a beautiful bezel and the double-material bracelet as well is preserved perfectly. The champagne sigma dial is pure featuring yellow-gold baton minute indexes. Preserved in excellent overall condition, this further enhances its overall appeal making it a highlight for the collector of rare timepieces.
