Sonning Vintage Watches

This is a beautiful example of the iconic Rolex Datejust from 1988. Very rarely it’s the smooth bezel model and the solid steel case is in near faultless condition. The original Rolex signed steel pearlescent dial is again in excellent condition and is wonderfully understated. The Rolex signed chronometer standard automatic and quick date set movement is also in excellent condition and has just been fully serviced by our professional watchmaker. The watch sits on a new, super high quality, black Hirsch ‘London’ alligator strap with steel Hirsch buckle. Very rarely we also have the original Rolex punched papers, a previous service record and brochure.

In view of the quality and condition of the watch 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.
