Watch Paparazzi

Business man Adam Mosseri spotted wearing Patek Philippe

The Head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, has been in the news lately not just for his role in shaping the future of social media, but also for his impressive collection of timepieces. One watch in particular has caught the attention of enthusiasts and collectors worldwide - a vintage stainless steel Patek Philippe Nautilus.

Originally introduced in the mid-1970s, the Nautilus ref. 3700/001A was designed by the legendary Gérald Genta and quickly became a game-changer in the world of luxury sports watches. Over the years, it has earned an almost cult-like following among collectors, with estimates suggesting that only 3,300 pieces were ever produced.

One of the notable features of the Nautilus ref. 3700/001A, also referred to as the "Jumbo", is its relatively large 42mm case - a bold move in a period when most luxury watches were considerably smaller. The Nautilus' unique, sporty design was also a departure from Patek Philippe's typically understated style.

While the Patek Philippe Nautilus may have been a groundbreaking watch in its time, it has only grown in popularity among collectors and enthusiasts since its release. Today, the Nautilus is considered one of the most sought-after luxury watches in the world, with a market price of around €130.000.

It's no surprise that someone as influential as Adam Mosseri would choose the Patek Philippe Nautilus as part of his watch collection. Not only is it a truly unique and iconic timepiece, but it also represents a piece of horological history that continues to captivate watch enthusiasts decades after its initial release.
