The Patek Philippe Nautilus has been the focal point of innumerable dreams since its 1976 debut, but until 1998, watch collectors could only dream about - not buy - a complicated Nautilus. Today, a Patek Philippe Nautilus "Jumbo" Men's Watch Replica 3710 represents a rising star on the vintage market, a landmark Patek Philippe, and a lust-worthy target for savvy collectors who want to get ahead of the value curve.
Critically, the 3710 is part of the "Jumbo" case family; it retains the wrist presence and unique "mono bloc" case design envisioned by its creator, Gerald Genta. In 2006, the engineering elegance of the mono bloc, which has no removable case back, was lost to cost-cutting and a new generation of Nautilus designed with mass-production in mind. Nautilus purists know the difference; the 120-meter (400ft) water resistance of the 3710 can be appreciated by any enthusiast of versatile sports watches.
The Case
With a case that measures between 41 and 42mm, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 3710 replica is a full-sized Nautilus model. At only 8mm thick, the mono bloc case also offers the advantage of refinement. This Patek Philippe Nautilus replica watch wears with the compact ease of a dress watch. A silken steel bracelet with double deployant clasp completes the ergonomic equation.Critically, the 3710 is part of the "Jumbo" case family; it retains the wrist presence and unique "mono bloc" case design envisioned by its creator, Gerald Genta.

The Dial
A unique dial of white gold Roman numerals gives the fake Nautilus 3710 a distinctive face. In true sports watch fashion, each of the numerals is luminescent, and the 3710 offers excellent night time visibility. Elegant details including a delicate center seconds hand and a "railroad" seconds/minutes track provide a deft balance of sport and sophistication.The Movement
In the caseback, the replica Patek Philippe automatic caliber 330/196 SC keeps the beat at 21,600 VpH. Its 48 hour power reserve motivates the watch’s signature complication and keeps the movement singing for a solid 6-hours more than the industry standard 42-hour autonomy. A Gyromax free sprung balance provides sports watch durability.
