Oyster Perpetual Date
Sold
Silver Golden Patina!
One of the earliest Oyster Perpetual Dates likely ever made.
The watch features a beautifully patinated dial that alternates between silver and champagne.
In addition, the dial features a unique characteristic in the indices that we have never seen before. The indices at 5, 6 & 7 o'clock, as well as on the opposite side at 11 & 1 o'clock, are arrow-shaped, while the rest are baton-shaped.
A special engraving is placed on the case back. The watch was given to an employee of the "Central Territory Correspondents" on May 22. Unfortunately, we could not find any records of this company, but it is most likely an American company, as the watch is made of 14-karat yellow gold and the American import code "ROW" is located on the movement.
The case of the watch is in very good condition. The lugs are still thick, the polishing is where it should be, as well as sharp edges at the transition. Dreamy for its age.
We have subsequently installed a new, originally gold-plated Rolex pin buckle.
