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, which until then had always been a time-only wristwatch.
- 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 fully wound the disc would continue rotating, indicating that the winding mechanism was disconnected from the main barrel. With the arrival of ref. 3710/1A also marked the first time that the "Jumbo" case proportions were used in a Nautilus other than the original 3700, as part of the comeback of the “Jumbo” 42mm case diameter prized by collectors;
- The present 3710 is preserved in overall excellent condition and is furthermore accompanied by its Certificate of Origin dated November 2, 2001 and its original box.
