Rolex Oyster
Viceroy, Ref. 1573
circa 1936

SOLD

 

As one of the oldest versions of Rolex’s Oyster case, the Viceroy’s signature flat top and porthole-shaped dial make this one of the more distinctive vintage models.

 

Strong Art Deco elements such as the rounded Arabic numerals and the two-tone tracks in contrasting hues of copper make this watch especially exciting. The matte field of this less common dial is highlighted by the polished bezel. Also, its bold hands with luminous centers, the larger screw-down crown and case back remind us of the sports-focus of this vintage Rolex. Yet, the slim profile of this case adds an unexpected hint of elegance. (Dimensions: 38mm x 28mm)

 

The Extra Prima movement cal. 600 with manual winding has 17 jewels and 6 adjustments.
