SIGNED ROLEX, RETAILED BY ASTRUA, PRECISION MODEL, REF. 4560, CASE NO. 480’141, CIRCA 1947

A special timepiece to the eyes of collectors, this reference 4560 is made desirable through the rare and highly attractive combination of a steel case with teardrop shaped lugs and a pink salmon colored dial. Rarely seen in this variation, it is furthermore preserved in good overall condition. The collectability of this elegant timepiece is further elevated by the retailer signature Astrua, featured on the dial at 12 o’clock.

Founded by Vincenzo Astrua in Torino in 1860, the retailer Astrua was one of the few firms allowed to put their names on dials of wristwatches of prestigious brands such as Rolex or Patek Philippe.
