Object description

Case and Decoration

The watch case and the accompanying bracelet are finished with a factory-applied Florentine technique. This process involves the application of a manual, cross-hatched engraving pattern across the metal surface, which covers both the watch head and the metal bracelet links.

The construction is executed in pink gold, and the bracelet is reported to be the original item matching the case design.

Evidence for this section
  • “پرداخت فلورانسی شامل یک الگوی هاشورخورده و حکاکی‌شده با دست است که توسط رولکس برای برخی از مدل‌های رسمی به کار گرفته می‌شد”
  • “قاب ساعت و اتصالات بند آن همگی با این حکاکی‌های ظریف دست‌ساز پوشیده شده‌اند”

Dial and Complications

The dial is finished in a silver tone with a soleil, or sunray, pattern. It is fitted with alpha-style hands and hour indicators designed in the doorstop style. The dial bears the designation "Swiss" at the bottom, a feature attributed to the earlier production runs within the 18XX reference series.

The watch includes standard Day-Date complications. The day of the week is displayed in a window at the 12 o'clock position, while the numerical date is positioned at 3 o'clock, situated beneath a cyclops lens for magnification.
