Notes

Dial, case and movement signed. DIAM. 36 mm. THICKNESS 12 mm. Property of the Original French Family Consigned by the grandson of the original owner, this pink gold 2508 has been conserved in excellent original condition. The original dial featuring a tachometer and telemeter scale has never been refinished and shows some light oxydation. The case has also been maintained with care, with the serial number and ROLEX crown clearly visible (most are no longer present as they were very lightly engraved) and a beautiful crisp and deep hallmark on the side of the case.
