Sonning Vintage Watches

This is a beautiful and very rare example of iconic Rolex Datejust from 1973 – this one has an original and beautiful dark blue dial with applied gold hour batons (only the 4th of 5th we’ve ever had). I’ve struggled to capture the dial but have taken a wrist video and if you’d like to see it please advise your WhatsApp number. The solid steel case is in excellent condition with only the most minor signs of wear. The very high grade chronometer standard Rolex signed automatic movement is again in excellent condition and has just been fully serviced by our professional watchmaker. The watch sits on a new, super high quality, dark blue Hirsch ‘London’ alligator strap with steel Hirsch buckle.

In view of the quality and condition of the movement we will give a 12 month guarantee.

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.
