Notes
Known to all collectors as the "Jumbo", the 3700 was a genius design by Gerald Genta still very relevant today. Sold at Beyer in March 1982, this example was sold at the end of the production of the 3700/1 just before the launch of the new 3700/11 featuring a thiner bracelet launched the same year. Complete with its certificate of origin and kept in very good overall condition, it ticks all the boxes for the discerning collector.
Provenance
Property of a German collector
