About This Watch

Vintage. No box/papers. This is a very nice find, a highly original 1960s Rolex Oysterdate with beautiful patina. It has aged gracefully with a good factory gold plated case & a movement in mint condition. The jewel on this watch is the period & highly desirable red & black numbers on the date disc as they were often replaced over the years with modern black nos.

The case is in good condition showing little wear on the edges of the gold plating while there are virtually no corrosion on the thread of the screw-lock back which is a common problem on this design. The dial in black with gold accents is also highly desirable & most befitting to the gold case, adding a class of luxury. Many dials of this era were often aged beyond legible by now and always reconditioned but look @ this!

Oh lastly, this watch has also retain the period correct crown with a + sign instead of the modern - under the Rolex logo which shows that this watch has been faithfully kept over the last 50 years.
