This timepiece dating from 1979 is in very good condition; it is a beautiful and well-balanced watch that makes a fine companion for any Rolex lover. The champagne-coloured sigma dial with black subdials is particularly breathtaking and clashes magnificently with the gold bezel and the bracelet with mirror-polished and matt-finished links.
