Stunning 1962 Rolex Oysterdate Gents Vintage Watch

The Overview

This is a simply beautiful example of the Rolex Oysterdate from 1962. The solid steel case with engine turned bezel is in near faultless condition with only the most minor signs of wear. The original Rolex signed steel with a slightly champagne tinge dial has been professionally refinished to the highest possible standard and is stunning. The applied gold hour batons and gold hands provide the softest contrast to the pearlescent dial and are perfectly framed by the steel bezel. The very high grade Rolex signed manual wind movement is again in excellent condition and has just been serviced by our professional watchmaker. To complete this beautiful piece we’ve added a high quality dark brown Hirsch crocodile skin strap with Hirsch gold plated buckle.

In view of the condition and quality of the movement we will give a 12 month guarantee as well as our lifetime guarantee on the authenticity and provenance.
