Condition Report
In very good operational and aesthetic vintage condition. The mechanical Swiss automatic movement winds properly, runs smoothly, and keeps reliable time. The highly desirable original dial is beautifully preserved with crisp lettering and clear applied markers, showing only minor, minor age-appropriate surface dust. The iconic red anchor logo rotates perfectly as intended. The gold-plated case retains vibrant, warm gold tones with honest micro-hairlines and superficial surface wear from careful preservation over the decades, keeping its classic profile intact. The heavy stainless steel screw-back medallion remains highly legible with the historic seahorse engraving deeply defined. The acrylic crystal shows excellent clarity. Fitted with a clean blue leather strap paired with an unsigned replacement crown and its original vintage signed Rado buckle.

Description & Technical Details
Up for auction is a beautifully preserved classic of Swiss vintage watchmaking: a Rado Golden Horse Automatic from the golden era of mechanical dress watches. First launched in 1957, the Golden Horse collection was the foundational line that established Rado’s global reputation for combining robust everyday reliability with distinct luxury design accents.This example is packed with traditional signatures highly sought after by collectors. At 12 o’clock sits the mechanical moving anchor logo—a ruby-mounted miniature rotating device that serves as a playful indicator of automatic motion. At 6 o’clock, the mirror-polished dual seahorse insignia adds balance to the beautiful sunburst silver dial.While the winding crown has been replaced over its lifespan with a clean, functional aftermarket alternative, the timepiece proudly retains its original signed gold-plated pin buckle and comes beautifully completed by an authentic vintage Rado box package. A true classic on the wrist that offers marvelous vintage presence.
