Details
Texano - When the Rolex Beta 5100 aka the Texano was launched in 1970 it was a technological masterpiece which was developed in partnership with a consortium of 21 companies at the Centre Electronique Horologer(CEH). The, at the time most expensive Rolex in the books featured the Beta 21 movement with a quick set date, a humongous 40mm case and the first synthetic Sapphire crystal, novelties we take for granted today. The beautifully retained case is individually numbered ‘089’. This 1st Generation example is among the first 100 pieces produced which bear the rare earlier bracelet with concealed clasp dated 2/71. According to public information only the first 300 examples (in yellow and white gold) were equipped with this 1st Generation bracelet. The bracelet remains long and will even fit larger, Texan Billionaires’ wrists.
