With Rolex Attestation de Chronomètre Officiel dated 4 February 1988, product literature, sales tag, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
The present watch with cream dial is without doubt the most sought-after version of all reference 16550 wristwatches. The rail dial is distinguished by the symmetric division of the two lines below the centre: "Superlative" and "Officially" to the left, clearly seperated by a vertical space and "Chronometer" and "Certified" to the right.
