Notes

Property of the original Swiss owner
The original owner during its last service requested the bezel to be changed to a fluted bezel from the original rotating bezel as these were no longer available from Rolex and a newer dial. It is mounted on an extremely rare 20 mm Rolex riveted bracelet dated 1968.
