A Rare Collector's Gem

This remarkable Rolex Chronograph is one of the rarest currently available, serving as a forerunner to the iconic Daytona. Dated back to 1935, it is also known as the Monoplusant 2021, featuring a 17-jewel movement that is working superbly.

The watch boasts a pristine white dial, with both the glass and case in outstanding condition. The hinged lugs are equally impressive, while the gold plating shows only a slight fade on the back—something that could be polished out, but has been left as is to preserve its character. All subsidiary dials are functioning perfectly, and the watch winds effortlessly.

The movement is fully signed Rolex Genève, and the inside of the back case is also signed and numbered. It comes with a leather strap and Rolex buckle, though the strap is not original to the watch. Notably, this timepiece is antimagnetic.

Given its historical significance and rarity, interest in this extraordinary watch is expected to be high. The production of this early model marks a pivotal moment in Rolex's legacy, and pieces of this caliber in such condition may not be available again for a long time.
