Description

Rolex (very early) DateJust dating to 1951 in large 18K/SS 'Bubbleback' case with original 'Index' bezel and original winding crown. Such a rare piece to come across - it just had to be bought.

Case

Very pretty 18K/SS 'Ovettone' case is in excellent condition with brushed finish top and bottom with highly polished sides. A very rare watch indeed. This particular piece was bought at auction, serviced and presented here for sale as you see it. Case reference number: 5031. Serial number: 613514 - both clearly visible in-between lugs with reference number repated on inside of case back.

Case dimensions are 36mm in diameter (not including crown), 15mm thick and 44mm lug to lug.

Dial & Crystal

Gorgeous, recently refinished antique silver dial with applied 'dagger' type hour markers. Dial also has an outer minutes/seconds track and date window at 3 o'clock (cyclops date bubble wasn't introduced until 1955). Dial is signed "Rolex Oyster Perpetual DateJust" & "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" with "Swiss" at 6 o'clock.

Plexiglas/acrylic crystal is brand new with no chips or scratches of any kind. This was replaced at recent service.

Bracelet/Strap

We have fitted a brand new, dark brown Hirsch 'GenuineCroco' strap to the watch with complementing steel buckle. Strap is also available in black.

We are 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

Completely original automatic movement in perfect working order. This vintage timepiece comes with our usual full 12 months warranty for your complete peace of mind and has been dated to 1951 by the case serial number.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories

As with the majority of pre-owned watches 5-10 yrs or older, this particular watch does not come with its original boxes or warranty certificate. It does however come with the dark green/beige presentation box shown in the final image. The watch is 100% genuine and rest assured, we give a lifetime guarantee on the authenticity of all the watches we sell.
