Firstly note we are watch dealers of distinction with over 50 years experience two generations in the field of Horology. Here for your consideration today we offer this outstanding vintage time piece. Rolex model 1600 oyster perpetual date-just from 1962 I hate to use the word rare as I see this word used on almost every watch add here on internet and those who use that word rare should define it’s meaning. I will describe this watch a scarce because you will find this model however you will be hard pushed to ever find one in this condition this watch is in time warp condition. Champagne pie pan dial totally crisp no oxidization or ageing present, Sword style hands with sweeping centre seconds hand, Date at the 3hr. Movement is the oyster perpetual automatic 18000vph 1560 calibre with compensated balance balance with Butterfly osculation weight. The movement is running is running well keeping good beat accurate time. stainless steel case with 18ct yellow gold smooth bezel all in lovely condition no hard use present. Bracelet 18ct yellow gold & stainless steel in super condition no stretch in the bracelet and full size bracelet. Simply amazing to think this watch is to think this watch is almost 65 years old yet still looks so very modern and in the condition of a 2025 watch. My conclusion This watch will appeal to the professional collector or ideal for a birth year watch ready to be worn and enjoyed or just added to a collection. The watch comes in it’s original Coffin box which is like new that alone has a value of £600+ purely on it’s condition, + swing tags Note no chronometer cert. You will be hard pushed to ever find a Rolex 1600 in this condition priced very reasonable a very sound investment.
