Lot Essay

Reference 3800 represents the mid-size iteration of the iconic Nautilus model. It was released in 1981 to entice collectors who deemed the 42 mm. diameter of the original Nautilus excessive. It remained in production until 2006, during which the movement presented several evolutions. Early models feature caliber 335 SC without the quick set date feature through the crown. Such development was introduced in 1987, while keeping caliber 335 SC. In 1992, a third generation was introduced featuring cal. 330 134, and finally cal. 330 194 was employed for the pieces made from 1997 to 2006, year of discontinuation.
