I am testing the waters a bit on this piece as it’s a recent acquisition, however, to be frank, the watch is too pristine for me!
Never in my life have I personally seen a vintage Rolex that exudes this much style, character, balance and patina’d perfection. The 16800 has the condition of a safe queen coupled with the patina of a daily.
The watch has been to Damiani Jewelers where it was determined to be 100% original.
The 3035 movement is running flawlessly. I do not have the service records, but the watch is running within CSOC spec, and there are service markings on the caseback.
The dial is matte and flawless. Original tritium developing perfectly. The hands match the dial flawlessly.
And then there is that pearl! That beautiful original pearl nested in the ghosted Bezel that defies all logic and reason by not only surviving all these years, but for being what can only be described as the colour of perfection if perfect was on a colour palette.
Bracelet is original with very minor stretch. Despite being in stellar shape, I do not believe the watch has ever been polished. This may be subjective, so please look at the photos.
Serial: 8,27X,XXX
Watch comes with a Rolex box, guarantee booklet, Rolex wallet, Damiani authentication, appraisal and the peace of mind for the discerning OCD Vintage Rolex collector knowing everything in the world is as it should be.
Trade: Ideally looking for an original Rolex 1675 Pepsi in any condition as long as it’s original. Bonus for a ‘62-‘66. Would consider trade for a rough 1969-74 1680 Red (plus cash depending on condition).
Cash: $11,650CAD or best reasonable offer
Viewings available downtown Toronto. Watch shipping across Canada with fully insured FedEx via parcel pro.
More photos to come shortly.
