With its rotating anchor logo and strong mechanical performance, it represents a highly attractive example of classic mid-century watchmaking. History Introduced in the late 1950s, the Golden Horse was a defining model for Rado, helping to establish the brand's reputation for distinctive design and robust automatic movements. The inclusion of the rotating anchor logo on the dial became a signature element, originally intended to indicate when the watch required mechanical attention if it stopped spinning freely. Paired with reliable Swiss calibers, the Golden Horse remains a celebrated pillar of Rado's mid-century catalog, appreciated by collectors for its character and enduring style.
