A beautifully 1950's Rolex in wonderful all original condition, freshly serviced with lightly patinaed dial giving it that perfect vintage feel in a gorgeous un-restored, gently used case with a superb Rolex in-house calibre 1210 movement running strong and keeping great time within. A rare example with a very simple, minimalist no luminous dial and hands giving it a very clean dress look on the wrist. I just love the deep blue steel seconds hand and 34.5mm solid stainless steel case. An understated vintage beauty.
