This attractive, classic Rolex timepiece in gold is in a very well-kept condition and is, in our opinion, unpolished. It has a beautiful, perfect and very rare original Rolex "Sultan" gold dial with eight diamonds and three blue sapphires, as well as gold Mercedes hands filled with Super-LumiNova. The unidirectional blue bezel has sharp edges and has gold numerals and graduations. Case and bracelet are in original condition and have never been revised. The case back still has the original green Rolex sticker with hologram and reference number 16618.
