Notes

This Rolex Oyster Perpetual, crafted in 14k yellow gold, is in good pre-owned condition. The outer case has likely received a polish and measures approximately 31mm in diameter. The screw-down crown, adorned with the Rolex coronet, functions properly and contributes to the watch's water-resistant design.

The silvered dial is in beautiful condition, featuring applied gold triangular hour markers and matching dauphine hands. The text on the dial, including "Rolex Oyster Perpetual" and "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified," remains crisp and legible. The crystal is clean with only minor scuffs visible upon close inspection.

The case back shows more visible scratches, typical of regular wear but retains its structural integrity. There is a more noticeable indentation running vertically on the case back that has affected a small section of the teeth, but will not affect the overall removal of the case back. The watch is currently fitted with a aftermarket black leather strap that measures approximately 7 inches in length. Its red strap complements the warm tones of the gold case.
