This listing is for a stunning item from ROLEX, perhaps the world’s best known name in luxury high end watch making. This is a SOLID GOLD 1970 Nine Carat TUDOR men’s dress watch which at 32mms diameter (not including the crown) is an elegant fit for the finer gentleman’s wrist. Sporting a rare SUNBURST engine turned BEZEL and extraordinarily SLIM at 4.5mms in depth, this 1970 model was one of the first to use the new SHIELD LOGO which replaced the Rose logo around this time.

Utterly MINIMALIST and supremely elegant, this is a classic wrist watch for the discerning collector and is perfectly versatile to suit a variety of environments from Black Tie dinner parties to more casual occasions. It looks just as good with a woolly jumper as it does in a high end suit. It comes presented on a BRAND NEW lovely quality 18mm Chestnut Brown leather strap  and is in full working order, keeping very good time. With no recent service history available we recommend this be serviced soon in order to maintain good function and protect your investment. It will be sent in a non Rolex watch box for safe delivery. Don’t miss it!

The Tudor Brand

The Tudor brand emerged as Rolex attempted to satisfy the demand for lower priced, but still high quality, luxury wristwatches in the immediate post-war years. With rationing and austerity including an outright ban on the import of gold for jewellery purposes into the UK, the company realised that profits could be made by offering a reliable product, with the same pedigree and all the patented features that had made Rolex such a commercial success in the inter-war period, for a less expensive price.The resulting watches were of a very high grade, to the extent that in many instances, the disparity between them and their equivalents in “full” Rolex form was very little indeed. Today, vintage Tudors are very much sought after in their own right by the Rolex collecting fraternity.

The Dial

The dial is signed for TUDOR at the top and shows a GOLD EMBOSSED Tudor SHEILD logo above. Under the hands it says SHOCK RESISTING. At the very bottom it says SWISS.

There is no other text or clutter present – this minimalist piece is very much in the ‘less is more’ category of refined and elegant time pieces. The design, build quality and materials all speak for themselves.

The GOLD backdrop has a subtle and beautiful BRUSHED STEEL finish effect.

The hands and raised hour batons are matching in a lovely mix of GOLD and BLACK lines.

The Case

The case is SOLID 9 CARAT GOLD and was assayed in 1970. IT is extremely SLIM at a mere 4.5mms in depth! Inside we have the magic hallmark  MADE FOR ROLEX.

The most inspiring and unique aspect to this stunning Rolex Tudor however is the wonderful SUNBURST BEZEL which has been achieved through expert engine turned craftsmanship. It adds an extra visual depth to the piece and marks this as the quintessential luxury dress item that it is.

Measurements

It measures:

·          33mms across including the crown

·          31mms top to bottom not including the lugs

·          4.5mms deep

Movement

The movement is the TUDOR 2424 (ETA 2412) which is gleaming and is currently in great working order, keeping good time.

Please note however that vintage watches cannot be guaranteed and it is always advisable to have them serviced at regular intervals to protect your investment.

Cosmetic Condition

Cosmetically, there are few condition issues to consider. This only shows very light age commensurate wear and has been well cared for. The dial is very clean and clear as is the crystal. The case is equally in top notch condition with nothing of any significance to report. Most importantly, please study the photos and make your own assessment prior to bidding.

Strap

It comes on a BRAND NEW lovely quality 18mm Chestnut Brown leather strap.

In short – a lovely vintage item – perfect for everyday wear or special occasions. Don’t miss out!
