The present watch is a Nautilus reference 5800, a mid-size Nautilus introduced to replace its predecessor, reference 3800. The reference 5800 was a watch made to answer the demand of some collectors with a smaller wrist, or those looking at something slightly more discreet. Although the watch has a highly sophisticated persona and a sporty design, the reference 5800 was only in production for 3 years. With the low number of 5800 available on the market today, the reference 5800 has now been considered as a modern day treasure. The present watch is offered with a Certificate of Origin and presentation box.
