Lot Essay
Aesthetically similar to a normal Oyster Perpetual wristwatch, the major discrepancy of the present reference relies in its dead-beat sweep centre seconds hand, stopping at each seconds mark, like an analogue quartz watch, instead of continuously sweeping on the dial.
With a very attractive and nicely preserved dial, the importance of the timepiece is enhanced through the prestigious Tiffany & Co. retailer signature present towards the upper-half of its dial. Carefully cherished throughout the years, the stainless steel case features strong proportions and is allied to a highly attractive and rare Rolex expandable riveted bracelet.
Of great quality, the timepiece represents a rare opportunity for Rolex collectors to acquire a very interesting and important Rolex watch with prestigious heritage.
Dead beat watches were already made in the early days of watchmaking and have always been considered as the symbol for a very finely engineered watch. At the time of its introduction however, this particularity did not enjoy much success and consequently the production of the Tru-Beat was discontinued after five years.
