Today's
auction showcases this incredibly classy and elegant Connoisseur
of Time Certified Pre-Owned Rolex Oyster Perpetual reference 6593.
It is an uncommon reference which presents beautifully in gold.
Not
seen as often as the 6090 and other similar references, its gorgeous
case and luxurious champagne dial
give it a really elegant classic
style. It's a watch
that is perfectly at home being worn everyday or only for special
occasions and clearly
demonstrates the qualities associated with Rolex watches: precision,
reliability, durability, and class.
The centerpiece of the
watch are its desirable "Bombe" or 'Bombay" lugs.
They bring another added dimension of distinctiveness to the watch
and really added a touch of extra class to Rolex's
mid-century Oyster line.
Powering
it is its renowned Caliber 1030 "perpetual" automatic
movement with butterfly rotor used in a few early Explorer and
Submariner models, as well as Oyster Perpertuals. It was officially
certified as a chronometer.
It has all of its original parts down to
the watch's original buckle and is in pleasing condition. Our
photos couldn't do it justice.
Its case shows only light wear and only fairly
light signs of previous polishing. Its gorgeous bezel has never
been polished - it retains perfectly crisp fluting.
Its original dial is in excellent condition.
It is clean with only light aging. The luminous has normal toning
and has mostly been removed.
The combination of the 14K gold bombe case with
champagne dial make for a really striking and elegant look.
One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the
watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special
training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be
an authorized Rolex watchmaker, has fully serviced the watch which
consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting
each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine Rolex
parts, installing new gaskets, installing a correct new mainspring,
reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing
testing and regulation (a $795 value).
It is running very strong and true, keeping time
essentially on par with a brand new Rolex in our testing recording
position.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with
a brand new lizard strap and the watch's original Rolex buckle
making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international
warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom
printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a
new timing certificate.

Our
Selling & Shipping Information:
- 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If
you are in any way unsatisfied with it, you are welcome
to return it in the condition it was sold anytime within
30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Our goal
is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience.
We hope you love it!
- The water
resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed
and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We don't
recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't
recommend showering or diving with it - even one that
was originally designed to be waterproof.
- We have
extensive international shipping experience. In the last
12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value
watches around the world (to over 70 countries!).
- All items are packaged very carefully and mailed in large
reinforced shipping boxes appropriate for high value items
so you don't need to worry about your watch arriving safely.
Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch
is coming in!
(Please do remember though that while we do our very best
and have careful procedures and quality control inspections
- we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of
your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you
- from time to time
some courier workers don't handle packages the way we
think that they would want their own packages to be handled.
Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping
of most is governed by a small spring that is only about
1/8 the thickness of a human hair.
The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem
free. However at times vintage watches
and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier
handling or just having a difficult trip to you.
But even on a bad day there's still good news... We offer
a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell
(unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so
if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime
in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at
no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit
back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're
going to wear your new watch!
- Our official
warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the
watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping
of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse,
being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts
etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants
of what qualifies for warranty work.... even if you have
a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage,
tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just
might be able to help you.
- Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end
of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted.
- To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not
to end an auction early.
- Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent
payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa.
_______________________________________________________
