It boasts a beautiful case with sharp lugs and a definitely crisp serial number on the back.

There is an outer 60-minute/one-fifth second scale with Arabic numerals every five minutes, and outside of that is a black 20-kilometer telemeter ring and around the perimeter is a Tachymeter scale to 500 UPH. There are twin subsidiary dials, including a running small seconds register at 9 o’clock, and a 30-minute chronograph totalizer at 3 o’clock. To our knowledge, no more than 100 pieces of this reference were produced, making this the perfect opportunity for collectors to secure a piece of Rolex fancy lugs pieces.
