The Patek Philippe ref. 3770 is a hybrid of the Nautilus and the Ellipse models. The ref. 3770 was launched in the spring of 1980. At that time, the Patek universe was dominated by the ‘hot’ watch of the moment – the Ellipse – and the brand was looking to expand its line to include a more desirable sports watch. The steel ref. 3700 Nautilus was selling, but not well (it was considered too expensive at the time) which is why the hybrid ref. 3770 was introduced. We have clients looking for any version of this unusual Patek and we’d love to hear from you if you own one.
