Here we have a beautiful Rolex Datejust from 1970. This watch is powered by a calibre 1570 automatic Rolex movement which runs smoothly keeping good time. When tested over 24 hours it was within around 20 seconds.
The watch has a gorgeous looking dial with the silver indexes & hands. At some point the minute hand looks to have been relumed during a service, often this is needed as the original tritium can crack and wear down. Still looks absolutely fine and bar this has been kept in great shape and is protected by a nice clean acrylic crystal. These both look good as shown, there’s some minor little specs but considering the watch is 55 years old it looks brilliant!
The watch is housed in a nice stainless steel oyster case with an engine turned bezel. It looks superb and is in exceptional shape! There’s some minor general wear with some light scratches which you’d expect on any pre owned vintage watch but nothing notable whatsoever.
It has its original Rolex branded screwdown crown which looks stunning & works/winds absolutely fine. The date isn’t quickset which is correct for this model.
The watch is sat on a Rolex Jubilee Service bracelet dated 1991. Although there’s no paperwork to support it this means the watch will have likely had a full Rolex service around this time. The bracelet itself is in excellent shape as shown. There’s some slight flex but usually these bracelets are much more worn. Looks excellent on the wrist.
This is an automatic watch meaning it runs off the movement of your wrist. It can also be manually wound as all automatic watch can be. The watch has a small power reserve however if left for a period of time it will have likely stopped.
This is just for the watch & the watch register check which we’ve included. No other box or paperwork this is unfortunately quite common for older vintage watches.
