百達翡麗 | Nautilus - Sigma標誌，3800/001型號，非常罕見白金自動上弦鏈帶腕錶，配日期及鑽石時標，年份約1994。附原廠錶盒及證書。
在奢華製錶的殿堂中，極少有作品能如百達翡麗Nautilus般，將運動氣息與優雅格調完美融合，成為永恆的象徵。型號3800/001 正是其中的傳奇之一。直徑37.5毫米，款式裏少數以 18K白金 打造，錶盤採用經典的藍色橫紋設計，並鑲嵌圓形切割 鑽石時標 。3點鐘位置設有日期窗，而6點鐘位置的 「σ SWISS σ」雙希臘字母標記 ，則低調地揭示了時標為貴金屬材質，僅為行内人所識。
錶盤之下搭載自動上鍊的330 SC機芯，為前代335 SC的升級版本，獲得日內瓦印記，象徵其卓越的精準度與打磨工藝。當年此機芯首次為Nautilus系列引入中央秒針，並成為日後所有帶日期型號的標配。
然而，真正讓本拍品成為傳奇的，是其極致的稀有性。儘管該型號曾以多種材質與配置生產超過數千枚，但目前 僅約七枚白金鑲鑽及藍面 版本曾公開出現過，每一枚皆體現百達翡麗低調且限量生產的哲學。即使在以上提到的七枚之中，眼前這枚更屬絕無僅有—— 極可能是唯一一枚 附有原裝錶盒與原始證書，且至今仍保持 未經拋光、印記清晰 的狀態。
對於真正懂得欣賞Nautilus的不只是設計，而是其背後深厚製錶傳承的藏家而言，這枚白金3800/001不只是夢幻逸品，更是可遇不可求的終極收藏。它早已停產多年，卻在全球藏家圈中持續掀起熱潮——因為這不僅是一枚腕錶，而是一段歷史的縮影，一種品味的象徵。對於鍾情中尺寸Nautilus的行家來說，幾乎沒有其他作品能在美感、稀有度與來源完整性上與之匹敵。

Footnotes
In the pantheon of luxury horology, few icons rival the Patek Philippe Nautilus for its timeless fusion of sporty elegance and understated power. Enter the Reference 3800/001, a 37.5mm masterpiece crafted entirely in luminous 18K white gold, the dial features the iconic ribbed blue Nautilus dial and is adorned with round-cut diamond hour markers. The discreet date aperture at 3 o'clock and the two Greek sigmas "σ SWISS σ" marks at 6 o'clock subtly affirm the presence of gold in the applied indices, a detail only the most discerning eyes will catch.
Beneath the dial beats by the self-winding caliber 330 SC, an upgrade over the previous 335 SC that allowed it to receive the prestigious Geneva seal for accuracy and finishing. Notable for this movement was the addition of a central seconds hand, a first for the Nautilus and was used for all subsequent versions including a date.
But what truly elevates the reference 3800/001 to legend is its profound rarity. While there were thousands of examples in various metals and configurations produced, only around seven known examples of the white gold variant with diamond-set indexes have ever surfaced at auction, each is a testament to Patek Philippe's secretive, limited production ethos.
Even among those seven known examples, this present piece stands in a league of its own— likely the only one accompanied by its original box and Certificate of Origin, and more remarkably, preserved in unpolished condition with crisp hallmarks.
For those who revere the Nautilus not just as a design icon but as a vessel of horological heritage, this example of Reference 3800/001 in white gold is more than a grail—it is a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition. It commands fervent pursuit among collectors who crave the unobtainable: a watch not merely worn but revered as wearable history. For lovers of the mid-size Nautilus, few examples can rival the beauty, rarity, and provenance of this extraordinary piece.
