Lot Essay

Consigned by the original owner and hardly used, the present watch is a highly attractive and exceptionally well preserved example of the classic 1950s Oyster chronograph series, in addition still retaining the original, expandable Rolex bracelet. Made at a time when the Cosmograph and Daytona family were not yet introduced, it epitomizes the sporty timing instrument for the gentleman.
