Salt Bae Spotted Wearing a Vintage Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 3700 in 18K Yellow Gold
Inserted 03/05/2023
The Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 3700 is the watch that started it all — Gerald Genta's 1976 porthole-inspired design that redefined luxury sports watchmaking. The yellow gold variant, produced in limited numbers through the early 1980s, is among the most coveted of the original generation, its aged black dial developing a rich patina collectors obsess over. Turkish culinary showman and global restaurateur Nusret Gökçe, known worldwide as Salt Bae, was spotted wearing this circa-1980 example — a piece as theatrical and rare as his persona.

Inserted 29/04/2023
Only 15 examples of the Patek Philippe Nautilus reference 3800/108 were ever produced, making it one of the rarest expressions of Gerald Genta's iconic porthole design. The 37mm case and bracelet are fully set with brilliant-cut diamonds, while a pavé diamond dial eliminates any hint of restraint. Retail pricing sits at $230,000, though the piece rarely surfaces publicly. Turkish restaurateur and global social-media phenomenon Nusret Gökçe — universally known as Salt Bae — has a well-documented appetite for trophy watches, and this Nautilus is entirely consistent with his aesthetic.

Inserted 08/01/2023
The Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 3800/5 is among the most coveted of the smaller Nautilus variants, produced from 1981 through the mid-1990s in a 37mm stainless steel case — modest by today's standards but razor-sharp in collector circles. Its integrated bracelet, horizontal embossed dial, and Calibre 335 SC movement define a generation of sports-luxury watchmaking. Turkish restaurateur and global showman Nusret Gökçe, better known as Salt Bae, was spotted wearing one during a Las Vegas appearance, adding another serious horological statement to his increasingly notable wrist game.

Inserted 25/12/2022

Fewer than a handful of references sit above it in Patek's sportswear hierarchy in terms of gem-setting complexity. Turkish restaurateur and internet phenomenon Nusret Gökçe, known globally as Salt Bae, was photographed wearing this $200,000 timepiece, a fitting accessory for a man who built an empire on theatrical luxury.
Salt Bae Spotted Wearing Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 3588 in Yellow Gold
Inserted 04/12/2022
The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 3588 is one of the manufacture's lesser-discussed integrated bracelet references, combining the house's purist dress-watch philosophy with a supple yellow gold mesh bracelet rarely seen outside serious collector circles. Nusret Gökçe, better known as Salt Bae, has built a reputation as a committed Patek Philippe enthusiast — his Nautilus Ref. 3700/3J is practically a signature accessory — but this Calatrava sighting reveals a more nuanced, old-money dimension to a collection that goes well beyond the expected stainless sport references.

The ribbed dark blue-black dial with applied luminous gold indices is a hallmark of the period. Nusret Gökçe, the Turkish chef and restaurateur better known as Salt Bae, was spotted wearing this exceptional vintage piece, a natural fit for a personality who rarely does anything understated.

It is not an aftermarket job; every stone is applied by Patek Philippe's own atelier in Geneva, preserving manufacturer warranty and collector integrity.
