CASE & BRACELET
The ultra wearable saucer-style 18K yellow gold case is in exceptional unpolished condition, boasting crisp original finishing throughout many surfaces and intricate detailing of the watch. Very minimal signs of previous use are present on the case. The case retains its original Rolex-signed winding crown. The case back also remains unpolished and features a beautiful patina consisting of dark blue and purple color tones, all of the original factory engravings remain present and crisp on the case back. The original 18K yellow gold Rolex mesh bracelet seamlessly attaches under the watch's bezel and gives the bracelet an integrated appearance. There appears to be a small repair and a slight separation in the bracelet just below where it attaches at 6 o'clock on the right side, though this is very common in vintage mesh bracelets as this is the main hinge point for the wrist. The bracelet has also developed a beautiful deep rosy-purple patina throughout, with the inside clasp blade seeing the most drastic patina as it remains mostly dark purple and blue. The bracelet also appears to remain unsized and it is adjustable within the clasp, fully extended the bracelet measures slightly larger than 7 1/2-inches, and fully sized in the watch will comfortably fit a 6 3/4-inch wrist.
DIAL & HANDS
The original gold radial dial features unique concentric brushing details and apart from the applied Rolex logo and text, lacks any markers. The dial itself is exceptionally well-preserved and is truly impressive, with no notable signs of age or wear. The original dauphine-style yellow gold hands also remain in exceptional condition.
