Specialist note

A mid-size version of the famous 3700 ‘jumbo’ Nautilus, this attractive and desirable Nautilus 3800/5 is a fantastic and very wearable alternative, particularly for those with smaller wrists. Despite being a smaller size, the 3800 was considerably more expensive than the 3700 when released, perhaps due to its seconds-hand and date complication.

In this combination of yellow gold and exquisitely factory-set diamonds, this 3800 is elevated to the levels at which it is now considered; no more can it be considered a ‘sports-watch’ as was thought originally. Presented in beautiful condition, this watch is a wonderful opportunity for those looking for a rare and special configuration of a most sought-after and legendary watch.
