Very Rare Rolex Tudor Oysterthin Big Rose c1958
This is a fine example of a gents wristwatch made by the world renowned premier Swiss maker Rolex.
Everything about this watch is completely original, the unrestored starburst dial is just incredible.
Model reference 7960
The watch case measures 34mm in diameter not including the crown.
The thinnest watch ever made by Tudor, only 6 mm thick, the Ref. 7960 is a very rare model, produced in small number for only a few years, from 1957 to 1963. In the late 1950s, it went down in watchmaking history as being the thinnest waterproof Oyster cased Tudor wristwatch. Today it remains one of the Tudor timepieces most sought-after by collectors.
It features an extra-thin waterproof steel case 34 mm in diameter and 6 mm thick. It is powered by the extra-thin calibre 2402 easily recognisable by its three rubies screwed into the top plate. It beats at a frequency of 18,000 beats per hour.
The big rose dial being the most desirable of the model range.The watch has been fully serviced and is guaranteed to be a genuine Tudor in all respects.
It has been professionally overhauled, the process is highly detailed and meticulous.
