It is a reference 6548 encased in stainless steel and 18K gold. Not seen as often as the date models, its "no date" dial and understated case give it a really pleasing and clean classic style. It's a watch that is perfectly at home being worn everyday or only for special occasions.
But what is most impressive is its gorgeous condition - it presents as a 9.7 out of 10. On the wrist, it presents like a new Rolex.
Housed in one of Rolex's watertight Oyster cases, the wristwatch originally offered its owner complete protection against water, dust, and perspiration.
Originally a mens midsize, its 31mm unisex size case is best suited for someone who does not have a large wrist.
Powering it is its original Caliber 1161 "perpetual" automatic movement officially certified as a chronometer.
Its case presents gorgeously. The case presents as beautiful mint with only light signs of previous polishing.
Its original Rolex dial has been meticulously custom refinished - its printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye. And its movement is clean.
Overall it presents in gorgeous condition, freshly expertly refurbished to like new.
As part of the restoration a Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value).
It winds smoothly, and is running very true, keeping time on par with a new Rolex in our testing position.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap with aftermarket Rolex style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
