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 iconic Rolex Datejust from 1988-90 – the serial letter is ‘L’ which covers the years 1988 through to 1990. The stainless steel case is in excellent condition with only the most minimal signs of wear. The original Rolex signed deep blue pearlescent dial is in excellent condition and is just beautiful. The steel hands and applied batons provide a wonderful contrast to the dial and are perfectly framed by the solid white gold fluted bezel. The very high grade chronometer standard Rolex signed movement is again in excellent condition and has just been fully serviced by SHWR. The original Rolex signed steel Jubilee bracelet is again in excellent condition.

This is a beautiful example of this watch and the deep blue dial is magnificent. Having the quick date set feature allows the date to be set without moving the hands round the dial twice.

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.
