Specialist note

Reference 3710/1, launched in 1998, is the first "Jumbo" Nautilus produced since the legendary reference 3700 which was first produced in 1976. When launched, the Nautilus model was advertised as the most expensive steel watch on the market. The main differences between reference 3700 and reference 3710/1 are the sweep centre seconds as well as the power reserve indicator. Reference 3710/1 was discontinued in 2006.

Consigned by a prominent collector, the appeal of the present watch is enhanced by featuring the extremely sought after Tiffany & Co.signature on the dial. Very well preserved and treasured by the owner, it comes along with all the accessories including documents and original purchase receipt issued by Tiffany.

To the best of our knowledge, this 3710 with Tiffany dial is fresh to the market and only the third example known to date.
