With a smaller diameter than the 'Jumbo' reference 3700, this watch provided an appealing alternative while paying homage to the original Nautilus that Gerald Genta designed. The slightly more conservative case makes it a perfect fit for wrists that may not accommodate the larger size. The indexes on the present watch were also decorated with diamonds, elevating the overall luxury appeal. Despite its age, the watch is in excellent condition with no visible signs of wear, making it a rare find in the market.
