Brand: Rolex

Reference Number: 2611
Serial Number: 3214050
Movement: Manual Wind Caliber 1400
Dial: Silver sunburst dial with applied black baton indices, showing minor age-related spotting
Case Size: 19 mm
Case Material: Stainless Steel
Production Year: 1972
Condition: Good vintage condition with honest wear and attractive character

Dial and Hands
The dial is a striking silver with a subtle sunburst finish, providing a radiant backdrop for the applied black baton indices. The typography is crisp and legible, featuring the iconic Rolex coronet at the 12 o'clock position. The dial exhibits minor, age-consistent spotting, primarily visible under close inspection, which adds a touch of authentic vintage character without detracting from its overall elegance. The simple, dark baton hands are well-preserved and complement the indices perfectly, ensuring clear readability against the light dial.

Case and Crystal
The 19mm stainless steel case features a distinctive rectangular shape with sharp, well-defined lines that highlight its classic dress watch proportions. The brushed finish on the caseback contrasts nicely with the polished surfaces, and the caseback clearly displays the engraved serial number 3214050 and the Rolex coronet. The case shows honest signs of wear, including light scratches and minor handling marks typical of a watch of this vintage, yet it retains its structural integrity and elegant profile. The crystal is clear, offering an unobstructed view of the dial beneath. The original signed crown is present and functions as intended.

Movement
Powering this elegant timepiece is the robust Rolex Caliber 1400 manual-wind movement. The movement is beautifully finished, with clearly visible rubies and crisp engravings denoting its Swiss origins. The close-up images reveal a clean and well-maintained caliber, reflecting Rolex's commitment to precision and durability. Running in vintage operational condition. Maintains the authentic mechanical character of the era. The timegrapher reading shows a performance of +35 to +40 seconds per day.

Strap
The watch is fitted with a classic black textured leather strap that complements the sophisticated aesthetic of the rectangular case. The strap appears to be in good condition, showing light signs of wear consistent with careful use. It is secured with a stainless steel buckle that features the classic Rolex coronet and is stamped "ROLEX S.A. ACIER INOX SWISS" on the reverse, ensuring a secure and stylish fit on the wrist.

Condition
This Rolex Precision is in good vintage condition, presenting a charming and authentic appearance. The case exhibits normal wear with light scratches, while the dial shows minor spotting that is consistent with its age. The movement is clean and operational, and the overall presentation is one of a well-loved and respected timepiece.

Remarks
This watch offers a wonderful blend of vintage charm and enduring Rolex quality. Its elegant rectangular case and clean dial design make it a versatile piece suitable for a variety of occasions. The presence of the signed crown and buckle adds to its collector appeal.

History
The Rolex Precision line has long been celebrated for its dedication to accuracy and refined design.

This particular model, with its rectangular case, is a testament to the diverse and sophisticated designs that characterized mid-century watchmaking, offering a glimpse into an era where elegance and precision were paramount.
