Rolex 36mm Oyster Perpetual Reference 1018 Dauphine Hands Unpolished

The reference 1018 is a rare and oversized Oyster Perpetual model which measures 36mm (43mm lug-to-lug). The 1018 was a reference that was not mass-produced and as a result of its narrow font has become an exciting OP for collectors who appreciate minimal and balanced dials. This example features a grey soleil dials which remains in a fantastic state. Oftentimes, the reference 1018 will show signs of water ingress or feature service dials.

The case appears to be unpolished and the watch is paired on a period correct 7206 Rivet bracelet by Rolex dating to 1965 which is in fantastic condition. The watch features a 1.17M serial dating to circa 1965.
