Notes

Dial, case and movement signed. DIAM. 37 mm. THICKNESS 13 mm. Approx. overall length 190 mm. A beautiful example of a late 6265 in yellow gold mounted on a beautiful and rare early ROLEX bracelet. The watch has been worn rarely as can be proved by the deep and mint punchmarks on all 3 lugs and also of the rest of the original caseback sticker as well as the patina to the case.
