Notes

These early Precision models by Rolex were often found in unusual cases such as this one featuring beautiful fancy elongated lugs that give the watch a much larger appearance on the wrist. Kept in great condition and still featuring a crisp Rolex logo as well as the case number on the outside caseback, these are much rarer than most other Sport models.
