Notes

Preserved in good overall condition, this Nautilus was made in 1973 and sold in 1977 and is part of the early series.
Retailed by Gubelin (only about 6 examples are known on the market), the early 3700 dials often showed a degradation of the varnish such as this example, where parts of the blue has turned to a chestnut color. Still fitted with its original wide bracelet, a must for any collector.
