Lot Essay

With Rolex fitted brown presentation box with retailer's fabric insert imprinted Salvina Marletti Gioletteria Torino on the top cover. Furthermore delivered with Rolex Milan servicing invoice dated 20 July 1999.

The present reference 4313 is distinguished by its attractively aged dial, showing an uniform gilt patina. Evidently hardly used if at all the case stands out by its full proportions and the crispness the engraved Rolex crown and the serial number to the back, both particularly sensitive to extensive wear or polishing.

Reference 4313 was launched in the late 1940s and is characterized by the large teardrop-shaped lugs mounted onto the bezel, a feature found exclusively in this unusual model.

For an example of a yellow gold reference 4313 see 100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger, p. 53.
