Rolex Astronomique Ref.3081 "Pastille Dial"

€55.000 EUR

SOLD OUT

 

 

This Rolex dates from the 1940s, only two or three examples were ever produced. This model is known as the "Astronomical."

Its distinctive feature is its black dial adorned with "Pastille" hour markers. At the time, it was sold alongside another Rolex pocket watch, also called the "Astronomical." The latter is actually far less interesting, while this wristwatch, reminiscent of the Calatrava, is absolutely exceptional.

This piece is in perfect condition. The dial retains its original varnish and has never been restored. In the entire history of auctions, I have only seen one other with a restored dial.

This watch comes from an Antiquorum sale in the mid-2000s and is probably an absolutely sublime piece, worthy of being displayed in the Rolex Museum.

 

 

Cette Rolex date des années 1940, deux a trois exemplaires seulement ont étés produits. Ce modèle est appelé « Astronomique ».

Sa particularité réside dans son cadran noir orné d'indexes dits "Pastilles". À l'époque, elle était vendue en même temps qu'une autre montre de poche Rolex, également appelée "Astronomique". Cette dernière est en réalité bien moins intéressante, tandis que cette montre bracelet rappelant la Calatrava est absolument exceptionnelle.

Cette pièce est dans un parfait état. Le cadran conserve son vernis d'origine et n'a jamais été restauré. Dans toute l'histoire des ventes aux enchères, je n'en ai vu qu'une seule, dont le cadran avait été restauré.

Cette montre provient d'une vente Antiquorum du milieu des années 2000 et constitue probablement une pièce absolument sublime, qui mériterait d'être exposée au Musée Rolex.
