Rolex Précision Oversize Réf. 8029 Retailed by "Riviera"

€35,000 EUR

Cette Rolex Precision réf. 8029 est l’une de ces montres vintage qui semblent étonnamment modernes aujourd’hui. Produite au début des années 1950, elle se distingue par son boîtier oversize de 37 à 38 mm, une dimension particulièrement importante pour l’époque.

À une période où la plupart des montres habillées restaient beaucoup plus petites, la 8029 affichait déjà des proportions qui lui donnent aujourd’hui une présence très contemporaine au poignet. Elle est animée par un mouvement mécanique à remontage manuel, dans l’esprit des Rolex Precision de cette génération.

Cet exemplaire possède surtout un détail particulièrement intéressant : son cadran est doublement signé « Riviera », du nom de la célèbre Joyería Riviera de La Havane, important détaillant Rolex à Cuba. Les montres Rolex portant cette signature sont aujourd’hui particulièrement appréciées des collectionneurs pour leur rareté et leur histoire.

Entre ses proportions inhabituelles, son cadran d’origine et cette signature cubaine, cette Precision 8029 réunit plusieurs éléments qui en font une Rolex vintage très singulière.

Une montre discrète au premier regard, mais pleine d’histoire et de caractère.

 

This Rolex Precision ref. 8029 is one of those vintage watches that feels surprisingly modern today. Produced in the early 1950s, it stands out for its oversized 37–38 mm case, an unusually large size for the period.

At a time when most dress watches were considerably smaller, the 8029 already had proportions that give it a very contemporary presence on the wrist today. It is powered by a manually wound mechanical movement, typical of Rolex Precision watches from this generation.

What makes this example especially interesting is its double-signed “Riviera” dial, referring to Joyería Riviera in Havana, one of Cuba’s important Rolex retailers. Rolex watches bearing the Riviera signature are now particularly appreciated by collectors for their rarity and historical character.

With its unusual proportions, original dial, and Cuban retailer signature, this Precision 8029 brings together several details that make it a highly distinctive vintage Rolex.

Understated at first glance, but full of history and personality.
