CASE & BRACELET

The 18K yellow gold case exceptional condition, especially when considering the age of the watch, showing very full and symmetrical lugs that show minimal signs of polishing and nominal signs of use. The original hallmark on the back of the case is fully present, crisp, and intact. The 18K yellow gold bezel also retains its original design integrity with minimal evidence of previous polishing present and crisp edges throughout. The case retains its original "Rolex Oyster" Brevet screw-down crown. The watch comes supplied on a 2pc handmade leather strap with an early style Rolex 14K yellow gold tang buckle.

DIAL & HANDS

The original, early, and remarkably well-preserved "pie-pan" dial is in incredible condition, showing no damage and only nominal elements of age that are virtually invisible to the naked eye while the original aesthetic charisma of the watch remains fully intact. The golden-beige radium lume plots around the dial and within the 6 and 9 o'clock markers all remain fully intact with no degradation present under UV light inspection. The original yellow gold alpha hands match the dial lume perfectly and exhibit no degradation under UV light inspection. The alternating red and black "roulette" date wheel is original with 'open' 6's and 9's.

ACCESSORIES

None. The watch is keeping time, but the service history is unknown. A movement service can be provided upon request.
