Lot Essay
With Rolex original punched guarantee dated December 11, 1993 and sale tag.
The watch here on offer is an extraordinary example of Rolex early 1990s production for two reasons. The most obvious one is its condition: absolutely new old stock. Not a scratch can be found on the case, the sticker on the case back is untouched, and the dial is of course spotless. The second is that the dial configuration presents a mistake: the numeral at 3 o' clock is a "6" instead of a "3". Examples of Rolex with mistaken dial that eluded the very strict Rolex quality controls and made it to the market are exceedingly rare and obviously highly collectible. Another example of mistaken dial Rolex was sold at Christie's, Geneve on November 10, 2013; lot 44.
