The vintage timepiece, which was launched in 1951, has a fascinating history, as it was popularized by John Lennon around a month before his demise. Apparently, it remained in production for 35 years during which only 349 pieces were curated. The rare timepiece is estimated to be worth around $700,000.
Tom Brady Corrected the ‘3800’ Watch Label Error
When it comes to Tom Brady, his passion for timepieces definitely knows no bounds. A few months ago, the NFL GOAT demonstrated just how much he cares about the accuracy of watch-related details. Brady reached out to the InsaneLuxuryVintage Instagram page via direct messages to set the record straight about one of his watches.
The page had erroneously labeled the watch that he was wearing at Michael Rubin’s 4th of July party in the Hamptons as the ‘3800’. However, Brady, having an eagle eye for watch specifics, decided to correct them. As a matter of fact, Brady was donning the Patek Phillipe Nautilus ‘Jumbo’ 3700 at Michael Rubin’s party with an all-white theme. The ‘Jumbo’ 3700 is in itself a rare timepiece and Brady apparently didn’t like it when the details of the watch went wrong.
“If the Patek Philippe Nautilus were an NFL team, which team would it be?”
