Sonning Vintage Watches

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.

This is a beautiful example of the ladies Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date from 2004. The solid steel case is in near faultless condition with only the most minimal signs of wear. The original crisp white Rolex signed dial is again in excellent condition. The very high grade ‘Chronometer’ standard automatic movement is in excellent condition following it’s SHWR service. The original bracelet is again near faultless and a great size. The watch was also serviced by Rolex in 2010 – whilst the guarantee from Rolex has run out it’s very rare to find any service history on a watch. In terms of provenance we have:

• The original Rolex punched papers
• The Rolex service card
• The Rolex brochures and wallet
• The red Rolex chronometer chip
• The Rolex box, inner and outer

To find with this provenance is extremely rare.

This is a beautiful example of an extremely rare 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.
