Brand: Rado
Model: Golden Horse

Dial: Champagne sunburst with applied faceted indices and red date display
Case Size: 35mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Gold-tone, stainless steel caseback
Production Year: 1960s
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: +25+29sa/day, running strong and steady.
Dial and Hands
The champagne sunburst dial presents an attractive vintage patina with scattered spotting visible across the surface, particularly near the center and edges. The applied faceted indices are complemented by an intact Rado anchor logo on a purple background and the signature seahorse emblem. A date window at three o'clock features distinctive red numerals. The gold-tone dauphine hands, along with the sweep seconds hand, show surface oxidation and light spotting, aging consistently with the dial.
Case and Crystal
The gold-tone case features a smooth integrated bezel and retains its general shape, exhibiting honest vintage wear. Moderate scratches, handling marks, and minor dings are present throughout the case and bezel. Plating wear is visible on the underside of the lugs and along some case edges, consistent with regular use. The knurled gold-tone crown shows some plating wear and bears no visible signature. The domed acrylic crystal displays light surface scratches under direct light, with no major cracks or chips observed. The stainless steel caseback features the model's notable embossed seahorse design.
Movement
Inside is a 30-jewel automatic movement with a central rotor, based on the A. Schild (AS) 1700/01 caliber. The plates and bridges show general cleanliness with minor surface marks and no severe corrosion visible, bearing engravings for Rado and Swiss production. The timegrapher records +25+29sa/day. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a dark brown leather strap featuring contrast yellow stitching. The material is worn but serviceable, showing moderate creasing and wear from previous use.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The dial and hands present an attractive patina with scattered spotting and surface oxidation. The gold-tone case and integrated bezel exhibit honest wear, including moderate scratches, handling marks, and visible plating loss on the edges and lug undersides. The domed acrylic crystal shows light surface scratches. Supported by the recorded timegrapher data, the movement is running strong and steady.
Dimensions
The case measures 35mm (excluding the crown).
