Just to make people understand the importance and rarity of the here offered Rolex precision reference 2563, this very watch has been published on the renown and historically important 100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger. The extraordinary example of the ultra-rare 2563, this watch has been manufactured in 1935: the stainless steel case has been preserved in extremely great conditions with very deep numbers on the case back. The case itself is also interesting, offering long, curved lugs that make the watch look and wear bigger on the wrist than the 30 mm diameter would suggest. The dial is obviously its most striking feature, with a black sector track rendered in radium paint, seconds at 6 o’clock and aged luminous material that has turned to a dark brown dolor. Real emblem of men’s elegance, this very watch is one of the most elusive references Rolex has ever produced and surely one of the best preserved.
