Lot Essay
With Rolex Garantie et Attestation de Chronomètre Officiel dated December 1985 stamped with Rolex country code 215 for Italy and brown presentation box.
The present "Cosmograph" is a particularly fine example as not only preserved in excellent condition but still accompanied by the original certificate and box. Interestingly, according to the owner, the watch was purchased at Rome's distinguished retailer Hausmann - indirectly confirmed by the country code punched on the certificate. Another noteworthy element is the fact that the watch is fitted with a leather bracelet which, according to the seller, was the way he bought it in 1985. This unusual feature is probably linked to the year of production, 1985, one of the last years this reference was made and possibly an attempt by Rolex to promote the sales of this ageing model.
