STAINLESS STEEL WRISTWATCH WITH DATE AND BRACELET
MADE IN 1987
Dial: black-blue
Caliber: cal. 335SC automatic, 29 jewels
Movement number: 1'425'520
Case: stainless steel Nautilus
Case number: 2'831'891
Closure: stainless steel Patek Philippe bracelet and folding clasp
Dimensions: 35 mm, bracelet circumference approx. 180 mm
Signed: case, dial and movement
Accessories: Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming date of sale on March 3rd, 1987
The three quarter size Nautilus was produced between 1981 and 2006. Collectors have acknowledged 4 different iterations over the course of its life. The present example bears the caliber 335SC with the "quick change" functionality, essentially a direct crown setting allowing to set the date in instant jumps, attributing it to the second generation for this reference, produced between 1987 and 1992.
The stainless steel case was manufactured by Favre-Perret and the dials by Stern Créations. The slightly more conservative case size ensures this timepiece perfectly fits a wrist which would not necessarily accommodate the larger, Jumbo size.

The lot is sold in the condition it is in at the time of sale. The online condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot and is for guidance purposes only. The images of the lot also form part of the online condition report for the lot provided by Sotheby's. Any reference to condition in the online condition report does not amount to a full description of condition. The online condition report may make reference to particular imperfections of the lot but you should note that the lot may have other faults not expressly referred to in the online condition report of the lot or shown in the online images of the lot (for example, the online condition report may not specify mechanical replacements or imperfections to the movement, case, dial, pendulum, separate base(s) or dome). Watches in water-resistant cases have been opened to examine movements but no warranties are made that the watches are currently water-resistant. The online condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alteration or adaptation because Sotheby's is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather the online condition report is a statement of subjective, qualified opinion genuinely held by Sotheby's (for example, information regarding colour, clarity and weight of gemstones are statements of opinion only and not statements of fact by Sotheby's).
