Story & Heritage

Founded in 1917, Rado quickly became known for its pioneering approach to materials and design. The DiaStar, introduced in 1962, became one of the world’s first watches marketed as scratch-resistant, helping establish Rado’s reputation as a technological innovator.

The DiaStar line pushed boundaries in both materials and aesthetics, combining durability with bold modern styling. Its distinctive shapes and integrated bracelets made it instantly recognizable and highly desirable among collectors of vintage Swiss watches.

Today, vintage DiaStar models are appreciated for their retro-futuristic design, robust construction and iconic place in watchmaking history.

This elegant two-tone example captures the spirit of the era perfectly and represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a classic Swiss design icon from Rado.

The watch will be carefully packaged and shipped insured.
