Product Description A distinctive RADO Balboa automatic wristwatch featuring an eye-catching faceted gold-tone case, smoky gradient dial, and original two-tone expandable bracelet. This vintage RADO showcases the bold futuristic styling that defined many Swiss watches of the 1970s. The sculptural faceted case creates a striking presence on the wrist, while the smoked dial transitions from a lighter center to a darker outer edge, adding depth and visual character. Applied gold-tone hour markers and matching hands complement the warm tones of the case, while the date display at 3 o’clock provides everyday practicality. The original two-tone expandable bracelet enhances the watch’s authentic vintage appearance and period-correct design. The watch is currently functioning and remains an attractive example of RADO’s innovative design language from the era.
