1968 Rolex 18K YG Date 1503 Tropical Dial with Gold Brick Bracelet

Sold

“Gold and Marble”


Case: The unpolished 18k yellow gold case is excellent showing a warm rosy patina and only light wear from use. The 18k yellow gold bezel also appears unpolished and retains very sharp flutes.

Dial: The dial has aged to a sage and gold marbled patina and shows only very light wear for its age. The lume has aged to a warm creamy hue and the hands have aged slightly lighter than the dial. All lume glows brightly when exposed to UV and falls off rapidly at the same rate which is correct for this series of dial.

Bracelet: The deco patterned gold brick bracelet is excellent showing some light stretch for its age. The bracelet has a warm rosy patina that matches the case and bezel. The bracelet is stamped with an earlier 1957 date code.

Accessories: None.

Notes: With a very decco look this gold 1503 has a unique and beautiful feel.
