For close to two decades the Patek Philippe and the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus the model has come to appreciate continuous demand.

Reference 3710 is a historically important model within the Nautilus production. 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 signed the return of the “Jumbo” sized 42mm case size of the 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 fully wound the disc would continue rotating, indicating that the winding mechanism was disconnected from the main barrel.

Presented in very appealing condition, the present reference 3710 is one of less than 85 known, it is a very attractive and unusual watch that deserves the growing attention it is receiving as it is one of the rarer and lesser seen “Jumbo” Nautilus models.

Ref Variations: 3710-1, 3710-1a-001, 3710-1a,
