AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Introduction
This vintage Rado Mannheim represents the distinctive design language and technical reliability that defined Rado’s production in the mid-20th century. With its bold cushion-shaped case and original stainless-steel bracelet, it offers strong presence on the wrist and appealing collectability.
Historical & Collector Value
The Mannheim line belongs to Rado’s classic era, known for experimental case shapes and robust mechanical movements. Its period-correct styling—sunburst dial, applied indices, rotating anchor logo—makes it a sought-after piece for collectors of vintage Rado watches. Examples in functioning and serviced condition are becoming increasingly difficult to source, enhancing its desirability.
