Catalogue Essay
Reference 3710 is a historically important model within the Nautilus family. Launched in 1998 and in production until 2004/2005, it was the first Nautilus model to feature a complication (other than a date indication) and even though it retained the smooth dial with Roman numerals as found in the reference 3800 it marked the return of the “Jumbo” sized reference 3700.
The Nautilus reference 3710 features a very unusual power reserve / state of wind indicator nicknamed by collectors “comet tail”. The said “tail” being placed on a rotating disc and once the movement is fully wound the disc would continue rotating, indicating that the winding mechanism was disconnected from the main barrel.
Adding another layer of rarity, this piece is fresh-to-the-market and the 5th piece known signed by famed American retailer Tiffany & Co. It is offered in well-preserved overall condition accompanied with an Extract from the Archives.
