Description

Gentleman's Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date in 18K yellow gold with original rhodium/dark silver 'Sigma' dial. Lovely condition. Very rare to find original diamond-set dial on these vintage pieces - especially a sigma dial.

Case

18K yellow gold case is in very good condition with 'Fluted' yellow gold bezel and matching 18K screw down 'Twinlock' winding crown - both in excellent order with none of the all too common chips, dents, etc. Rear cover also in mint condition with no damage from incorrect entry attempts and has no inscription or engraving. Case reference no: 1803. Serial no: 5067xxx.

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

Dial & Crystal

Very attractive and unusual Rhodium (dark silver) dial is in very good overall condition with some patina at the edges and around a few of the diamond hour markers. This is an original dial both in its finish and the fact that it is an original/factory Rolex diamond-set dial and not a so-called 'afterset' or 'aftermarket' dial. Rolex Coronet at 12 o'clock and matching yellow gold hands. Dial is signed "Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date, Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" with "O T Swiss T O" at 6 o'clock. The 'O' letters signify that this dial is a 'Sigma' dial which has solid gold hands and Rolex Coronet - very, very rare.

Acrylic crystal is perfect with no marks, scratches or chips of any kind and was replaced at recent service.

Bracelet/Strap

We have fitted a new HIRSCH 'London' to the watch. Finished in Louisiana Alligator, this is one of HIRSCH's finest straps and feels very supple and comfortable on the wrist.

Movement

Automatic winding calibre 1555, 25 jewel signed Rolex movement in very fine condition - recently fully serviced and comes with 12 months warranty.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories
