Lot Essay

The present example of reference 16238 features the playful and unusual cushioned pattern on the dial. It is worth noting the high level of craftsmanship needed to realize such an impeccable tri-dimensional dial not only for the tri-dimensional pattern itself, but also for the application of the gold numerals on such an uneven surface.

Furthermore, this watch has been consigned in nearly as-new condition, with the unpolished case showcasing perfect edges and proportion, and the green Rolex sticker on the back still in its place and nearly un-faded: the mark of a timepiece that has hardly ever seen a wrist in its life.
