AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

State

Rolex Lady-Date Ref. 6517 watch in very good vintage condition, dating from the late 1960s. The piece retains its original character and all its essential factory components.

The stainless steel case maintains its original shape and proportions, with micro-scratches and subtle signs of use consistent with its age. The fluted bezel features a uniform shine and well-defined lines.

The acrylic crystal with Cyclops lens is in good overall condition, with small surface marks that do not affect readability. The screwed crown, signed with the Rolex emblem, functions correctly.

The original silver dial remains clean and homogeneous, with a light patina that enhances its authenticity. The applied indices and Dauphine hands are in excellent condition, with minimal oxidation visible only under magnification.

The stainless steel Oyster bracelet features slight, period-typical slack, with a functional fold-over clasp and engraved with the Rolex crown.

The Rolex calibre 1161 automatic movement works properly, maintaining good accuracy and with the operational date function.
