Condition

There is movement to the balance, however it will require service in order to run consistently. The dial is in good order with the exception of a spot near 5 o'clock. The case has acquired a patina over the years as to be expected. Hand-scratched small marking to the bottom of the case below the case number, likely from a watchmaker or retailer. The case is in good condition with some slight scuffs to the leather.
"In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. All dimensions in catalogue descriptions are approximate. Condition reports may not specify mechanical replacements or imperfections to the movement, case, dial, pendulum, separate base(s) or dome. Watches in water-resistant cases have been opened to examine movements but no warranties are made that the watches are currently water-resistant. Please note that we do not guarantee the authenticity of any individual component parts, such as wheels, hands, crowns, crystals, screws, bracelets and leather bands, since subsequent repairs and restoration work may have resulted in the replacement of original parts. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective, qualified opinion.

Important Notice regarding importation into the United States of Rolex watches
Sotheby's cannot arrange for the delivery of Rolex watches to the United States because U.S. laws restricts the import of Rolex watches. The buyer or a designated agent may collect the property in the country of sale."

拍品資料及來源

附原廠資料摘錄確認交易日期1963年7月4日。備有原裝專用錶盒。

百達翡麗於1950年以前開始發展光電技術,為當時尖端技術。百達翡麗的光電時鐘不但是首個將此原理注入鐘錶製品,更是首個能普及使用的太陽能。

如此品般的太陽能座鐘是首個非傳統機械機芯操作,獨立不需支撐並可攜帶的時計。隨著電動機械及石英機芯的出現,這劃時代的太陽能技術是二十世紀下半期幾個顯著的進步之一,令過時的機械機芯受到被淘汰的威脅。

此品的光電技術機芯由不同的機械程序合併而成。根據手錶的17-250機芯,此品的機芯是用上層太陽能電池板去接收人造或自然光。光源之後經金飾線傳送到包裹著17-250 É鎏金機械機芯的電池。
