Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 6719 'Tiffany & Co.' - Sunburst Champagne Dial Unpolished

SOLD

If you boil Rolex down to its purest form, what do you get?

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual. This is truly the genesis for the entire Rolex brand. The very first Rolex models were called ‘Oysters’ which was owed to their innovative three part case that all screwed into each-other. That is where the fluted bezel actually derives from, being screwed down into the top of the case to secure the crystal with a gasket - as well as the grooves on the oyster case back. All makes sense now - right?

The piece that we have here, simply known as an Oyster Perpetual, is a ladies model that embodies the ethos of the early Oyster models, utilizing a water-resistant Oyster case and an automatic-winding movement. A functional, sturdy, and dependable timekeeping device.

And while that is all true, this piece does have a few 'extra' bits...

Dating to circa 1981, this Ref. 6719 features a 26mm yellow gold Oyster case with a 'fluted' yellow gold bezel and a matching yellow gold Oyster bracelet with a blade clasp. It remains in outstanding overall condition, very gently worn, showing light signs of wear throughout. Flip it over and its caseback engravings are crisp and clear. Inside, the dial is as nice as they come. In seemingly flawless condition, with a vibrant sunburst surface and fully-intact Tritium plots.

But It doesn't stop at condition... look a little closer and you'll find an additional retailer stamp on the lower half of the dial from New York's Tiffany & Co.

For the ladies out there, or for those with smaller wrists, this is going to be tough to beat for a daily wearer or simply a one watch to do it all.
