Notes

Property of the original Swiss owner
Amazingly while the movement for the watch was produced back in 1972 (the Jumbo Nautilus would be launched in 1976), the watch itself was only sold in 1991, a year after the Jumbo Nautilus was discontinued, making this example one of the last examples sold.
