Notes

DIAM. 35 mm. THICKNESS 11 mm. Made in only 911 examples between 1957 and 1972, this Rado represented the best the company made. With a 30 jewels chronometer movement, this example is a time capsule having remained in its original box with all documentation and even retaining the original leather band and buckle
