A barely worn cushion cased Rone Swiss watch, complete with the box and papers. A fantastic affordable choice.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the supplied paperwork we can accurately date this watch to being sold in 1981. We bought it from the first owner, to whom it was gifted for Christmas 1981 but he hardly ever wore it.
CONDITION
Rone were founded in 1955 in Role, Switzerland, and appointed Bravingtons in London as their UK importer, The back of the paperwork has both addresses, and 1981 was the last year of this agreement. For a 1981 watch this is quite traditional – an automatic movement and three hands where LCD and Quartz watches were the fashion. The movement chosen is a 25 jewel ETA 2783, with quick set date, and it is all working well. It is a little stiff to wind, but that will likely loosen up with use. The case wears larger than the dimensions suggest, which is common for these cushion cased watches. The condition is very difficult to fault, having been worn so sparingly. The bracelet is not stamped for Rone but is a good quality – it is rolled gold rather than gold plated (at a time where gold prices were very high), and it has a clasp that is easy to adjust – the video shows this to its best.
This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, papers and our Certificate of Authenticity.
