Brand: Rado
Model: Mannheim
Reference Number: 11012
Serial Number: 39140168
Movement: Automatic, Caliber 2783
Dial: Champagne sunburst with applied baton indices, red date display at 3 o’clock, and Rado rotating anchor logo
Case Size: 37mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1970s
Condition: Running at +43 to +57 seconds per day on timegrapher, indicating healthy vintage performance. Excellent overall condition with well-preserved case lines and attractive dial patina.
Dial and Hands
The champagne sunburst dial is enhanced by crisp applied indices with black insets and sharp original baton hands. The date window at 3 o’clock is highlighted by a red background, adding a distinctive pop of color. The signature Rado rotating anchor logo is present and functional. All dial printing is clean, and the luminous accents have aged to a warm, golden hue, reflecting its vintage character.
Case and Crystal
The robust stainless steel case maintains its original geometric lines and brushed finish, with only minimal, honest wear visible. Factory brushing is prominent on the upper surfaces, and the case profile remains defined and sharp. The crystal is clear, free from distracting marks, and enhances the brilliant dial beneath.
Movement
Driven by the reliable automatic Rado Caliber 2783, this watch was measured at +43 to +57 seconds per day on a timegrapher, indicating a healthy movement consistent with vintage standards. The original signed crown is present and functions smoothly.

The watch is fitted with its original integrated stainless steel bracelet, comfortably accommodating wrists up to 17.5cm. The bracelet exhibits light surface wear but preserves its factory finish and secure folding clasp, offering both period authenticity and comfort.
Condition
This Rado Mannheim 11012 is in excellent vintage condition, with a vibrant dial, beautifully aged lume, and strong, unpolished case lines. Minor marks are present as expected for its age but do not detract from its overall appeal. The movement offers reliable vintage performance, as shown in the timegrapher readout.
