Introduction This is a vintage Rado Green Horse, a charming dress watch from one of Switzerland's most historically significant watchmakers. Recognizable by its iconic Rado anchor logo with red rotating counterweight at 12 o'clock and the distinctive Green Horse emblem on the lower dial, this timepiece embodies the golden era of Swiss mechanical craftsmanship. Its gold-plated case, silver sunburst dial with applied gold indices, and framed date window at 3 o'clock capture the elegant aesthetic of mid-century watch design. Historical & Collector Value Rado, founded in 1917 in Lengnau, Switzerland, rose to global recognition in the 1950s and 1960s with its Golden Horse, Green Horse, Silver Horse, and Starliner collections. The Green Horse was among Rado's earliest signature models and helped establish the brand's identity before its later shift toward high-tech ceramics. Original examples in complete and functional condition are increasingly difficult to find, making this piece a rewarding acquisition for collectors of vintage Swiss watches. The rotating anchor beneath the Rado logo, an authenticity marker of the era, is clearly present and functional.
