When it comes to new Old Stock a lot of Vintage Rolex watches become interesting even if they weren't in used condition but to find a truly rare specimen in NOS conditions is like a lottery win. This exceedingly rare double quickset Rolex Day Date with Onyx dial is such a watch. The condition of the watch lets us assume that this watch has been sitting in a safe place for most of its life. The razor sharp case doesn't show any wear from use rather than a few handling hairlines. The factory case back sticker is 100% intact and the original fluted bezel bears its original factory finishing. Further this watch is fitted an original Onyx dial with matching no-lume hands. Box & papers.
