Specialist note

Reference 3800, the standard Nautilus model without diamonds, was in production from 1981 until 2006 and was available in different versions as to case material and dial layout. The highly jewelled examples however, such as the present watch, were made in very limited quantities.

A collector's mind could hardly imagine a more lavish "sports watch" than the present, fully pavé-set Nautilus. Furthermore, this particular version is in white gold set with diamonds and sapphires is all confirmed by the Extract from the Archives.

According to our research, the present watch is fresh to the market and is offered here in pristine condition.
