This is a gentleman's "Oyster Perpetual " two-tone model that is exceedingly handsome because it has a perfectly aged "Tropical" Dial! This is a dial that due to exposure to sunlight, as one would expect in the "Tropics", has a perfect patina that can only come with age and very even exposure. This is an extremely desirable look and highly sought after. No, the watch has not been exposed to water, just sunlight which has caused this wonderful effect over the many years of exposure. The watch is circa 1955 and is just plain beautiful in it's simplicity. The dial patina, the stainless steel chapter markers, stainless case, solid gold bezel, and stainless "Oyster" band all add up to more than the parts. Rolex really knocked it out of the park with this watch. This is a watch with great quality built-in, and a look that gives it a very kool appearance. It exhibits a 26 jewel, automatic movement that is a virtual trouble free performer. The photos just cannot do this watch justice. Can you tell that we here at Father Time think this one is a real winner? The dial has the classic Gold Rolex Logo Crown.
