Description from the seller
Introduction
This vintage Rado Purple Horse is a classic Swiss automatic wristwatch featuring a stainless steel case, fluted bezel, and a clean silver dial. Compact yet solid, it represents Rado’s early reputation for durability combined with elegant, everyday design.
Historical & Collector Value
