Condition Report
Case & Bezel: The 26mm stainless steel case remains in highly attractive vintage condition with honest wear consistent with age. The 18k yellow gold fluted bezel is sharp, retaining its classic reflective facets.
Dial & Crystal: The champagne dial is in excellent original condition, beautifully complementing the gold bezel. The sapphire crystal is clear with minor vintage wear around the edges.
Bracelet: The original two-tone Jubilee bracelet displays moderate vintage stretch typical for its era (see side-profile photo), but remains incredibly comfortable on the wrist and retains plenty of life. The clasp features a crisp, distinct Rolex crown logo.
Movement: The caliber 2135 automatic movement is running, and the quick-set date function clicks over cleanly as expected. (Please note: As a vintage timepiece, water resistance is not guaranteed and a routine service is always recommended for daily use).
