Rolex, Two Tone Oyster Perpetual "Zephyr" Ref. 1008, Rare Black Dial Circa 1966

$7,000.00

A cool black dial variant of an already uncommon offering by Rolex, I've only seen a few others!


Case: 34 mm Oyster case, yellow gold Zephyr bezel, case no. 1,286,212

Dial: black crosshair dial, gilt text, luminous dot indices, luminous alpha hands

Movement: Rolex cal. 1560, self-winding

Bracelet: Rolex rare original riveted two-tone bracelet, 7205 with correct steel 61 end links, date code of "3 65"

Condition: black dial is in perfect condition, and is blemish free; all lume plots are seated correctly, with even profiles. Engine turned bezel is in good condition, possibly lightly polished. Case likely polished as well; though the lugs still have width, they are softer than should be. Caseback appears to be refinished as well. Movement runs at time of listing, and runs and sets as intended. Service history is unknown and timekeeping is not measured/guaranteed. Servicing is recommended.
