Description from the seller
Rolex Vintage Presentation Box – Ref. 71.00.04
Original Rolex Presentation Case in Leather and Wood – 1970s-1980s
Description:
Elegant and rare original Rolex presentation box, made in Switzerland to accompany the brand’s prestigious watches during the 1970s and early 1980s.
Unlike the usual green boxes, this model stands out with a sophisticated dark burgundy exterior finish, a front closure decorated with a leather strap and gold hardware crowned by the iconic Rolex emblem. The interior features a refined wood-grain effect finish with a Rolex original metal plaque mounted on the lid.
This is a high-quality presentation case with a distinguished aesthetic, highly valued by collectors due to its lower availability compared to the standard boxes of the era.

History
During the 1970s and 1980s Rolex produced various presentation boxes targeted at specific markets and high-end models. This type of case represents a transitional stage between the classic green boxes and the later lacquered chests that would appear.
The reference 71.00.04, visible on the base of the case, corresponds to one of the boxes used by Rolex Genève for certain Datejust, Day-Date, Oyster Perpetual models and other prestigious references sold through official international distributors.
The elegant front closure with the Rolex crown is one of the most distinctive elements of this generation of cases and is a feature especially sought after by collectors.
