Patek Philippe Nautilus Ladies Two-Tone Reference 4700/001

Partially verified

This Patek Philippe Nautilus, reference 4700/001, is a ladies' model from the 1970s. The watch is housed in a 27mm two-tone stainless steel and gold case. It features a champagne-colored 'Sigma' dial, which displays applied gold indices, a lumed 'pencil' handset, and a black date wheel at the three o'clock position. The timepiece is driven by the Patek Philippe quartz Calibre E19 movement. It is fitted with an integrated two-tone stainless steel and gold bracelet. This specific example is accompanied by an Extract from the Archives. The design is described as being part of the line attributed to Genta, with this reference representing an early iteration of the ladies' Nautilus collection, noted by the inclusion of the black date wheel rather than the white versions found in later production runs.
