The watch offered for sale here features a unique aging to the originally black dial, having developed what we would describe as a ‘lunar’ patina for its resemblance to Planet Mars’ surface topography and color. The gilt printings remain well present, all visible with no misprints. The amazing and rare hour markers have a luminous tritium stripe that present a creamy patina hue, matching with that remaining on the hands.
The stainless steel case remains in good condition, showing some signs of wear. The case back is in the same condition.
The white gold bezel also remains in good shape with some visible wear.
The original acrylic crystal has some minor scratches that could be easily buffed away.
The Rolex automatic cal. 1570 is running well and keeping time, as it has been fully serviced.
It is suited on the original Rolex Jubilee 6251H stainless steel bracelet with 55 end links that shows stretch common to this type of bracelet and coherent with its age. It will fit from a 16cm wrist up to an 18cm one.
Overall, an honest original vintage Rolex watch that is ready to be worn and enjoyed.
Macros of dial and case are available under request, as well as service pictures.
