Product name: Nautilus 3712/1A-001
Reference budget: 20 million yen range

The 3712/1A is a hidden rare model that was released in 2005 and discontinued after only one year. Since 2006, the 30th anniversary of the birth of the Nautilus, the Nautilus has come to use standard waterproof cases with screw-down case backs, but the 3712/1A uses a special case designed in 1976 by Gerald Genta, known as the Picasso of the watch world, that ensures waterproof performance by sandwiching a waterproof gasket between the bezel and the body.
