Notes

The Rolex reference 2811, is one of the rare early Rolex chronographs. Very similar in size and design to the Patek reference 530 chronograph, it features a flat bezel, olive pushers and beautiful multi-scale dials with blue telemeter scale. The example presented here has crisp reference and case numbers stamped on the caseback, thick case definition and an original unrestored pink coloured dial in excellent condition. An extremely well preserved example. For similar examples please see I Cronografi Rolex, La Leggenda by Pucci Papaleo, pages 94-101.
