Sonning Vintage Watches

This is a beautiful example of the iconic Rolex Datejust from 1983 – it’s also the quick date set model. The solid steel case is in excellent condition with only the most minimal signs of wear. The original Rolex signed steel pearlescent dial is again in excellent condition. The super high grade Rolex signed chronometer standard automatic movement is again in excellent condition and has just been fully serviced by our professional watchmaker. The watch sits on what we believe is the original genuine Rolex Jubilee bracelet with the age reference of ‘E’. It’s in excellent aesthetic condition but does have some relatively minor sag/stretch. It will fit an 18.5cm wrist and we can supply extra links if required at £75 each. Very rarely we also have excellent provenance:

• The original Rolex punched papers with the plastic wallet with matching serial number.
• The original Rolex box – inner and outer in very good condition
• A Rolex service with matching serial number from 2002
• What we believe is the original purchase receipt (matching name on the Rolex punched papers).

It’s rare to find any paperwork with a watch of this age and to find all this is remarkable. In view of the condition and quality of the movement we will give a 12 month guarantee.

This is a rare and highly collectable vintage watch from one of horology’s most famous names and will, if history is any judge, provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to treasure and enjoy. I will provide an insurance valuation in excess of my asking price. Please appreciate the difficulty of photographing this piece, it looks even better in real life. Subject to your location I’ll happily show the watch.
