Rolex - Rolex “Salmon 2508” Chronograph
Up for grabs is a stunning and rare steel Rolex chronograph, the reference 2508, circa 1937. This particular 2508 is a “second generation” example, denoted by its 35mm case with square button pushers. Further, this example features a lovely salmon-color sector-snail dial, with both telemeter and tachymetre scales. This Rolex chronograph is in good vintage condition. The case has been previously polished, but lightly, with thick and even lugs. The original dial shows aging/wear, consistent with the aging of these dials (and the fact that they were not waterproof cases), and noticeably, a scratch in the middle of the dial above “Antimagnetic”. Overall, the watch is very well-preserved, and you will be hard pressed to find another in this configuration!
