Sonning Vintage Watches

We are working with a local collector and he’s asked us to list a couple of his watches. He bought this watch from Rolex Nottingham in 1993 and wore it regularly until it had a major service in 2018 – he’s worn it a couple of times since.

The solid steel case is in overall excellent condition with only a few minor scratches and scuffs which are hard to see with the naked eye. The original Rolex signed coppery/champagne pearlescent dial has aged slightly towards the centre to a sunburst look. The very high grade chronometer standard automatic movement is in excellent condition and our watchmaker has given it a full service. The watch sits on the original Rolex Jubilee bracelet which is again  is in excellent condition with limited sag/stretch. In terms of provenance we have:

• The original Rolex punched papers
• The original Rolex boxes – inner and outer – with the Rolex sticker and price on the side.
• The original Rolex brochures, calendar and swing-tag with the correct serial number
• The service record from Jon Vincent Watchmakers

It’s extremely rare to find any paperwork from this period so to find such a comprehensive set is wonderful. We give a lifetime guarantee on all our watches and also a 12 month guarantee on the movement.

This is a beautiful example of a 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.
