Sonning Vintage Watches

I love all the watches in our collection but every now and again something exceptional lands and this Rolex Datejust is simply outstanding.

We are working with a UK based collector who has asked us to market a selection of his watches. As part of the offer each watch has had a full service and refurbishment by the UK’s leading watchmaker, Steven Hale Watch Restoration. Each watch will come with a 2 year guarantee from Steve Hale and a lifetime guarantee on the authenticity by Sonning Vintage Watches.

The solid 18ct rose gold case is in near faultless condition with only the most minimal signs of wear. We have the original dial (last picture) and hands but Steven Hale have put a new, genuine Rolex, dark blue pearlescent dial with yellow gold hands (again new and again genuine Rolex). I’ve struggled to capture the true beauty of this dial against the rose gold case and if you’d like a wrist video please advise your WhatsApp number. The original Rolex chronometer standard automatic movement is again in excellent condition and has the full Steven Hale service (£750 – £800) and guarantee. The watch sits on what we believe is the original solid 18ct rose gold Rolex Jubilee bracelet which has been re-pinned and is in excellent condition – it’s also a great size – these retail at around £13,500 now…. I’ve also taken a couple of pictures of the watch on a new, super high quality, black Hirsch ‘London’ alligator strap and if you’d like it on a strap without the bracelet we would reduce the price to £11,500.

This is a simply magnificent example of one of the true Rolex classics…

The case measures 36mm across, excluding the rose gold Rolex crown and 42mm long including the lugs. The case is signed ‘Montres Rolex SA Geneva Switzerland Patented’, ‘1601’ and it has the appropriate hallmarks for solid 18ct gold.

As with the majority of pre-owned watches that are 10 years or older, this particular watch does not come with its original box and paperwork. The watch is 100% genuine and rest assured we provide a lifetime guarantee on the authenticity and provenance of all the watches we sell.

Although there is no original paperwork, we do provide a written invoice and 3 page insurance valuation with the pictures of the watch and all available reference numbers. We also give a 12 month warranty on all our watches. We also stock a good selection of vintage watch boxes to help complete your purchase.

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.
