Notes

Housed in a rectangular case, these early Rolex wristwatches are rare as many have been damaged or over restored. This is the first example of its type that we have had the pleasure of offering with crisp numbers on the 9k white gold case (in itself very rare already) but the fact that it is combined with black dial retailed by Bucherer makes it the very first piece of its kind to be offered at Antiquorum.

Provenance

Property of a Swiss Gentleman
