Vintage Watches From Amsterdam

More details about this timepiece

Why it stands out:
- Unrestored dial with ‘character’ (most of the aged ref.4768 dials are redone).
- Produced for the French market.
- Facetted teardrop lugs.
- Rare reference, with Oyster ref. 4767 examples going at 200k€ +.

What you should know:
-One lug has been soldered and reinforced at some point.
- Case shows some signs of wear and damage.
- Wear to winding crown.
- Later strap/buckle.
This ‘Jean-Klaude Killy’ (inherited the nickname from its sibling 6236) Rolex is one of the rarest complicated references produced by this brand. This honest example shows a lot of character and we are glad that in the past 80+ years no one dedided to ‘work’ on the dial. Instead, we believe the aged dial adds a lot of aestehtic value, especially with this particular reference.
