Rolex Datejust Réf.1603 "Major Nigel Roy Mitton Petrie"

€39.000 EUR

This is a historic Datejust, as it belonged to its first owner, Major Nigel Roy Mitton Petrie, a light infantry officer in the British Army, who served in Gibraltar, Aden, and Northern Ireland.

The watch comes with its box, papers, import documents, and complete history.

It is a genuine, documented provenance watch, likely a special order or an ultra-limited series for a local market.

It is a historic watch because it belonged to a British Army officer, but also because it features this extremely rare Arabic numeral dial, virtually unique on the Datejust.

The watch is entirely in its original condition.
The case has never been polished.

Nothing has been retouched.

This is an absolutely historic Datejust and a major piece for collectors.

And when you look at this watch, you also understand certain things better.

We also have a Submariner with Arabic numerals, and it's very likely that this Datejust is part of the same logic, the same thinking at Rolex.

It's clearly in the lineage of great, museum-quality Rolex watches. Watches that transcend the simple object to become part of history.

 

 

Il s'agit d'une Datejust historique, ayant appartenu à son premier propriétaire, le major Nigel Roy Mitton Petrie, officier d'infanterie légère de l'armée britannique, qui a servi à Gibraltar, Aden et en Irlande du Nord.

La montre est vendue avec son écrin, ses papiers, ses documents d'importation et son historique complet.

C'est une montre authentique, à la provenance documentée, probablement une commande spéciale ou une série ultra-limitée destinée à un marché local.

Cette montre est historique non seulement parce qu'elle a appartenu à un officier de l'armée britannique, mais aussi parce qu'elle arbore ce cadran à chiffres arabes extrêmement rare, quasiment unique sur une Datejust.

La montre est entièrement dans son état d'origine.

Le boîtier n'a jamais été poli.

Aucune retouche n'a été effectuée.

Il s'agit d'une Datejust absolument historique et d'une pièce majeure pour les collectionneurs.

En observant cette montre, on comprend mieux certaines choses.

Nous possédons également une Submariner à chiffres arabes, et il est fort probable que cette Datejust s'inscrive dans la même logique, la même philosophie chez Rolex.

Elle s'inscrit incontestablement dans la lignée des grandes montres Rolex, dignes d'un musée. Des montres qui transcendent le simple objet pour devenir des pièces de légende.
