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.

Specifications
• Brand: Rado
• Model: Mannheim
• Movement: Mechanical (manual/automatic — please confirm)
• Case Material: Stainless Steel
• Bracelet Material: Stainless Steel (original Rado signed bracelet & clasp)

Condition

The watch shows signs of honest vintage wear, including scratches on the case and minor marks on the crystal, consistent with age. The dial remains well-preserved with clean printing and intact hour markers.
All functions operate correctly, including timekeeping and date change.

Service History
• Fully operational and function-tested
• Overhauled (OH済) — recently serviced to ensure reliable performance
This provides peace of mind for collectors seeking a ready-to-wear vintage Rado.
