Description from the seller
Now available at auction from Second Vintage
This Golden Horse Sport presents classic vintage Rado styling, highlighted by an exceptionally clean silver sunburst dial and a distinctive fluted bezel. The vibrant red date wheel and signature anchor logo complete a highly attractive mid-century design.
Brand: Rado
Model: Golden Horse Sport
Reference Number: 11743
Movement: Automatic, Caliber 1700/01, 30 jewels
Dial: Silver sunburst with applied indices and red date wheel
Case Size: 36mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1960s
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: +5+10s/day, performing remarkably well.
Dial and Hands
The exceptionally clean and well-preserved silver sunburst dial features crisp, intact printed text alongside clean applied indices and the signature Rado anchor logo. A vibrant red date wheel adds a striking touch of color to the composition. Presenting an aged character, the dauphine hands display visible oxidation and spotting, particularly on the minute hand, while the sweep second hand remains relatively clean.
Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case shows honest vintage wear, with moderate surface scratches consistent with age and some softening along the lug edges. A stainless steel fluted bezel frames the dial, displaying moderate wear and some dirt accumulation within its crevices. The domed acrylic crystal, featuring an internal date magnifier, shows light surface scratches and minor wear. The crown is signed with the Rado anchor logo and exhibits normal handling wear. On the reverse, the caseback engravings remain clearly legible.
Movement
Powering this watch is the Rado-signed Caliber 1700/01, a 30-jewel automatic movement with a signed rotor. The plates and bridges show minor surface marks and light signs of age, and the caliber number is clearly stamped on the base plate. Timegrapher results show +5+10s/day. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a lightly used black leather strap featuring white contrast stitching.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The exceptionally well-preserved dial is a visual highlight, contrasting with the visible oxidation on the dauphine hands. The stainless steel case and fluted bezel show moderate surface scratches, wear, and some edge softening consistent with age. The acrylic crystal has light scratches. Supported by the recorded timegrapher data, the movement is performing remarkably well.
Dimensions
The case measures 36mm (excluding the crown) with a lug width of 20mm.
Remarks
This Golden Horse Sport offers classic vintage Rado styling defined by its fluted bezel and distinctive dial configuration. The striking red date wheel and remarkably clean sunburst finish make it a compelling choice for enthusiasts of mid-century watchmaking.
History
The Rado Golden Horse collection debuted in 1957 and was one of the earliest lines marketed under the Rado brand name. This Reference 11743 is equipped with the Rado-signed Caliber 1700/01, a 30-jewel automatic movement. Rado models produced prior to approximately 1965 utilized an 'R' signed crown before transitioning to the anchor logo crown seen on this example, providing useful context for the evolution of the brand.
