Notes

Another newly discovered timepiece by Rolex, the reference 8029 is extremely rare with only a very few examples having appeared at auction in the last 20 years. Housed in an oversize 38 mm case, the equivalent to the Patek Philippe reference 570, this example has been maintained in very good condition still having the Rolex crown and serial numbers visible on the outer caseback attesting to the overall quality of preservation of this timepiece.
