Rolex Oyster Perpetual Diamond Dial Reference 6090 In 18k Pink Gold Unpolished

This Rolex Oyster Perpetual reference 6090 is a spectacular and elegant timepiece. The 18k pink gold case measures 33mm in diameter (40mm lug to lug). We believe the case is unpolished. The non-luminous diamond dial is in beautiful and original condition. It is paired on a a fantastic Hermes strap. For those looking for an incredible diamond dial vintage Rolex, this is an out of this world example. It has a 0.8554M serial dating to circa 1952-1953.

The watch does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history but it is running well.

Rolex Non-Luminous Day-Date 1803 In YG On Strap Unpolished

This Rolex Day-Date reference 1803 is a special wristwatch in great condition. The 18k yellow gold case measures 36mm in diameter. It features a non-luminous dial. We believe the case is unpolished. The watch comes on what appears to be the original strap and `18k gold buckle. It has a 2.19M serial dating to circa 1969.

Vulcain Cricket Reference 303001 Unpolished

This Vulcain Cricket reference 303001 is among the early oversized Cricket models from the 1950s. Similar to the “King Cricket” model, the case dimensions are 38mm in diameter (47mm lug to lug) with a lug-width of 20mm. These oversized or “Jumbo” Vulcain Crickets are some of the most interesting and wearable vintage Cricket models, but their interest should be far wider than that. Collectors of oversized vintage time-only and chronograph models, such as vintage Longines, Breitling or Universal Genève collectors, often have not had the chance to see one of these rare models in person, but when they do, it is not unusual to hear an audible gasp or at least eyes widening when they try it on their wrist.

It features the beautifully applied even numerals, with corresponding applied hour markers. The alarm hand features a black arrow.

The watch dates to the early to mid 1950s, and is powered by the calibre 120. As a passionate Cricket collector, I am thrilled to offer this fantastic example to the next lucky owner. The watch does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well.
