Condition
Report

Overall, the watch is in good condition, showing signs of gentle wear consistent with age, while retaining the elegance that makes this reference an ease to wear. The champagne dial is clean and well-preserved, with applied baton hour markers and matching hands. The tritium lume plops remain intact. The date window is located at 3 o’clock and magnified by the Cyclops lens, which is clean and clear. The dial is signed ‘T Swiss Made T’ below the 6 o’clock marker, consistent with the production period. The sapphire crystal is in excellent condition with no significant chips or scratches.

The 36mm case with 18k yellow gold fluted bezel is in good shape. Though the case has seen polishing in the past it remains strong with well-defined lugs, and retains good overall geometry. Minor surface scratches are present under close inspection on the case sides and bezel.

The watch is fitted to a two-tone 62523H Jubilee bracelet in steel and 18k yellow gold, with 21 links. The bracelet shows moderate stretch, typical for the age, but remains secure and wearable. The clasp is stamped ‘X’, indicating a 1999 production date, suggesting the bracelet was replaced at some point during the watch’s life, likely during a service or refresh.

Inside, the watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber. 3135, a self-winding automatic movement with quickset date, hacking seconds, and a 48-hour power reserve. The movement is currently running at -2 seconds per day, well within acceptable tolerances.

This example is accompanied by its inner box, outer box, and Rolex booklets, making it a more complete offering for those seeking a birth-year piece or a timeless daily wearer.
