Lot Essay

Preserved in “Like-New” condition, this example of the reference 3711 is offered with its original certificate and box. With a perfectly preserved case retaining its original proportions and sharp angles, the collector will notice the presence of sharp hallmarks to the case back, indicating that the wristwatch was crafted in white gold. Part of the rarified pieces of the Nautilus production to be graced with this elegant and sophisticated metal, the wristwatch is set to become a highly collectible example of the iconic Nautilus.

Introduced in 2004, the reference was only produced for small period of time and was discontinued in 2007. During these three years, it is believed that approximately 700 examples of the reference were made, making it one of the most rare and difficult Nautilus timepieces to find.

Very similar to the reference 3700, the present timepiece carries perfectly the classic proportions of the original “Jumbo” Nautilus, whilst a subtle update resulted in a greater depth to its case. The wristwatch utilized the caliber 315 SC movement, which featured a sweep centre seconds function and the date function.

Highly appealing and rare, the present timepiece represents a rare opportunity for Nautilus enthusiasts to obtain such a complete and nicely preserved example of the reference.
