Description

Gentleman's Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date in 18K yellow gold with very attractive, champagne Linen 'Sigma' dial. Fitted with a very high quality Hirsch 'Genuine Alligator' strap. Lovely condition. New model RRP: £23,050 (with President bracelet).

Case

18K yellow gold case with matching 'Fluted' yellow gold bezel in very fine condition. Rear cover is also excellent with no imperfections or damage. Original screw down 'Twinlock' winding crown. Nice thick case/lugs denoting not much refinishing work has been done over the years. We have not re-polished the case since buying the watch in from our client. Model reference: 1803 between lugs at 12 o'clock along with serial number: 3234xxx between lugs at 6 o'clock.

Case dimensions are 36mm in diameter (not including crown), 12.5mm thick and 43mm lug to lug.

Dial & Crystal

Very attractive and completely original 'Linen' dial finished in champagne. Quite different to the standard metallic champagne finish - appears similar to gold leaf. This particular dial is a very rare 'Sigma' dial denoting that all the dial furniture (batons, hands, Rolex Coronet, etc) are solid gold rather than just yellow metal or at best, gold plated). The dial is in flawless condition and has solid yellow gold batons with matching hands and Rolex coronet at 12 o'clock. Dial is signed 'Rolex, Oyster Perpetual Day-Date, Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified' with 'O T Swiss T O' at 6 o'clock. Dial has familiar date aperture at 3 o'clock and day aperture between 11 and 1 o'clock.

Acrylic crystal has recently been replaced during service and is perfect with no marks or scratches.

Bracelet/Strap

We have fitted a brand new Hirsch 'Genuine Alligator' strap finished in honey-brown with complementing gold-filled buckle. We have the exact same strap in dark brown or black if you prefer.

We are also Hirsch stockists and can change the strap to any from their 'Classic' machine made range, or 'artisanal' range of superb hand-made straps if you desire (subject to cost). Please contact us for further details.

Movement

Automatic winding calibre 1556, 25 jewel signed Rolex movement in very fine condition. The watch has just returned from our watchmaker and is keeping superb time. 12 months warranty.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories

As with the majority of pre-owned Rolex 5-10 yrs or older, this particular watch does not come with its original boxes or warranty certificate. The watch is 100% genuine and rest assured, we give a lifetime guarantee on the authenticity of all the watches we sell.
