Rolex Datejust Morellis Finish Reference 1611 18k Yellow Gold Full Set Unpolished
I’m constantly amazed by the quality and differentiations of the dials that Rolex used in vintage Datejusts over the decades. I have found the Rolex Datejust to be one of the most versatile watches a person can have. This is an extremely cool and uncommon Datejust reference 1611 in 18k yellow gold featuring the a beautiful Morellis finish bezel. It features a gorgeous grey pie pan dial and yellow gold hour markers and hands. The watch features a bezel with an interesting florentine finish. It is paired with a brown leather strap and 18k yellow gold Rolex buckles. It features a 2.98M dating to circa 1972. It was sold in 1974. The case appears to be unpolished.
It comes as a full set with a box and papers. The service history is unknown, but it is running well. It recently passed a 5 bar water resistance test.
Rolex Four Line Zenith Black Dial Daytona Reference 16520 w/ Box
This is a very special Rolex "Four-Line Zenith” Daytona reference 16520 with an L2 serial dating it to circa 1988 - one of the earliest automatic Daytonas ever made. The “Zenith Daytonas” have appreciated significantly the last few years as people respect the modified Zenith El Primero movements that Rolex used for their first automatic Daytonas starting in 1988.
Four-Line Daytonas are extremely rare and simply say “Superlative Chronometer” on the dial and not “Officially Certified” as found on the predecessor and successor versions of the reference 16520. It is surmised that Rolex was finding the amount of text on the dial a bit tedious for the predecessor “porcelain dial” versions of the automatic Daytona.
It is paired with a reference 78360 Oyster bracelet with a N clasp code dating to circa 1989. The case has been lightly polished. It measures 40mm in diameter.
The watch does not come with papers. It does come with box. It was recently serviced and is running well. It recently passed a water resistance test of 5 bar.
Rolex Explorer Underline Dial Reference 1016
Introduced in 1960 an icon was born in the Rolex Explorer reference 1016. The 1016 was produced until circa 1989. The ref. 1016 marked the first Explorer with “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" printed on the dial. It is one of the most desired timepieces and for great reason. The 1016 is one of the purest expressions of watch design and for this reason that I am probably asked for vintage Explorer reference 1016s more than any other watch.
This example features a great gilt dial with chapter ring and underline. It features an 0.901M serial dating it to circa 1963. The case has been polished in the past. It measures 36mm in diameter (43mm lug-to-lug). The hands are possibly relumed. It is paired on a Rolex Jubilee bracelet with 58 end links dating to 1968.

Rolex Padellone Reference 8171 in 18K RG
This Rolex "Padellone" reference 8171 is a very rare example in 18K rose gold. Of the steel, yellow gold and rose examples, rose gold seems to be the rarest of the metals.
