Historical & Collector Value RADO, a Swiss watchmaker established in the mid-twentieth century, became known for producing durable and stylistically distinct timepieces, with several model families - including the Silver Horse line - reflecting the brand's design language of the period. Automatic movements of this era were widely used across the Swiss watch industry, representing a transitional period between manual-wind calibers and later quartz technology. This piece illustrates the general design and mechanical characteristics typical of RADO's output from this period.
