Notes

Rolex reference 4500, is, in our opinion, one of the nicest pre-Daytona Rolex chronographs. Similar in look to the Patek 1463, its concave bezel and round pushers give it further presence. This current example has a beautifully conserved with 2 deep hallmarks to the lugs and a beautiful black dial, the best possible combination.
