With Rolex undated Attestation de Chronomètre Officiel, product literature, original fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
It is important to note that the present example is in outstanding condition still retaining its original Rolex factory sticker. The present lot is further enhanced by the unusual switching of the position of the reference and serial number. Traditionally, one can find the reference number stamped between the lugs at 12 o'clock and the serial number at 6 o'clock. During the manufacture of the current lot it seems that an error ocurred and the reference number is stamped and 6 o'clock and the serial number at 12 o'clock.
