AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant and captivating Rado Purple Horse Automatic, reference 606.3253.4, a Swiss vintage watch that embodies the distinctive character of Rado production between the 1970s and 1980s.

The Purple Horse collection belongs to the historical tradition of the Swiss house, known for material research, mechanical reliability and a design instantly recognizable.

This piece features a refined black sun-brushed dial, silver-tone applied indices, and the unmistakable red seahorse logo, accompanied by the Purple Horse inscription.

At 12 o'clock stands the characteristic Rado logo with an anchor, while at 3 o'clock we find the practical calendar with the day of the week and the date.

The stainless steel case, embellished by the fluted bezel, pairs perfectly with the multi-link metal bracelet, giving the watch a classic and timeless elegance.

Movement

The watch is powered by a Swiss Made mechanical automatic movement with 25 jewels, with an oscillating weight bearing the Rado signature.

The movement belongs to the tradition of Swiss mechanical watchmaking and is wound by the natural movements of the wrist, without the need for batteries.

The rotor and the mechanical construction are documented in the movement photographs.
