Patek Philippe 18k/SS 'Exception' Reference 3770/11 Quartz Plus 18k/SS 'Nautilus' Bracelet and Deployant Clasp - Excellent!
This is not a Nautilus model! It is instead a limited trial model that was inspired by both the Nautilus and the Ellipse! It is a Patek Philippe 'Exception' model Reference 3770/11.
Patek utilized the Ellipse oval with Nautilus top with it's 'Ears'. It's a stainless steel and 18k yellow gold quartz experimental wristwatch with a SS and 18k yellow gold Patek Philippe Nautilus bracelet. Patek also modeled the 'Exception' in all stainless too.
During the late 1970's, for several years, Patek tried unsuccessfully to produce a new model that could be as successful as their Nautilus and Ellipse models. The Nautilus and Ellipse were already two of their major successes and thus leading models. They utilized the Ellipse shape plus the Nautilus top. Several versions and sizes of this rare 'Exception' were attempted to facilitate a third successful design and ALL were short-lived. Many confuse this model with the Nautilus as Patek sometimes utilized Nautilus bracelets for their attempt and sometimes only straps.
Two body, polished and brushed, 'Dauphine' yellow gold hands. The movement is a Patek Philippe caliber 1505, 6 jewel quartz. Dial, case and movement are signed. Dimensions are 36 mm x 41 mm.
