Created by Gérald Genta, the iconic porthole-inspired design endured the crisis and is still extremely popular today. The first Nautilus reference was the 3700, such as the present lot, and produced until 1998 though steel versions were only made until 1986/1987. Boasting a large case for the time period, the nickname 'Jumbo' was adopted by collectors and stuck ever since. Presented in attractive condition, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire one of the most sought after and iconic watches ever made, accompanied by a beautiful and Ellipse presentation box.
