A very rare and important piece. The movement is running at the time of cataloguing and the chronograph is functioning properly, however it may require service soon. The last documented repair was done in 2007 by Henri Stern. The dial is in very nice condition, with beautiful, fully intact raised hard enamel printing throughout. The crystal itself is scuffed and may benefit from a buffing so that the dial may be better appreciated. The case is in overall very nice condition with moderate surface scuffs, and a bit of more visible wear to the edge of the upper left lug and to the bezel at 2 and 4 o'clock. While at Henri Stern and Patek Philippe Geneva, it may have been expertly polished, but the two strong hallmarks remain crisp and visible to the naked eye, one to the profile of the band between the crown and the lower chronograph pusher, and one to the back of the upper left lug. With engraving to the back: R.B.P JAN 1 - MAR 25, 1959 N.A.R The present lot contains endangered species which is subject to restrictions upon international export. Accordingly, the strap will be removed prior to shipment outside the United States.

Important Notice regarding importation into the United States of Rolex watches
