Patek PhilippeThis 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.

The watch utilizes an integrated bracelet design that matches the case's two-tone composition, alternating between stainless steel and gold links. This configuration follows the aesthetic structure associated with the Genta-designed sports watch line. The watch is designed as a ladies' model, incorporating a integrated bracelet that flows directly into the case architecture.
- Dial and Timekeeping Functions

A date aperture is situated at the three o'clock position, utilizing a black date wheel which is described as being consistent with early-generation examples of this reference. Internally, the watch operates on a Patek Philippe quartz Calibre E19 movement. The integration of the black date wheel is highlighted as a specific detail that distinguishes this earlier production version from later generations of the same reference, which transitioned to white date wheels.
