He’s the Swiss dude that, after some sketching, kinda created both Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak and Patek Philippe’s Nautilus. Yup, that guy. Well, before those flashy steel legends, at the fresh age of 23, he started his first big hit for a little company called Universal Geneve. He began designing the watch that would, one day, be the most iconic watch the brand would ever produce – this watch, the Polerouter. This example, defined by its beautifully wide twisted lugs, dauphine hands and flawless black bullseye dial is exemplary. It's a model of condition, straight from the collection of a T&H watch geek and we couldn't be more proud to be offering it here for you! ROLEX “BUCKLEY” DIAL DATEJUST REF. 1601 This, my geeks, is a helluva watch. It’s a Rolex Datejust, reference 1601 and it was manufactured In 1965. It’s cased in 18k yellow gold, powered by the automatic 1570 caliber and topped with a remarkably rare lemon Buckley dial. Individually, these variables are desirable, sure. But together, they’re extraordinary. First, the case. Absolutely immaculate in condition. Not only is it without a single significant scratch or dent, but it has retained its factory finishing – brushed lugs, a very sharp fluted bezel and polished sides. In most circumstances, that case would be the most impressive asset of a given watch. But here, its the lemon Buckley dial steals the show. Not only is it one of the rarest dials in the Datejust world but its totally flawless in condition, it has managed to retain its original puffy tritium dots all around! In short, this is one of the best examples of my favorite vintage watch of all time. Enjoy it! VULCAIN This watch is exactly what I’m talking about when I tell watch geeks that, if you wait long enough, you’ll stumble upon true value. In the watch world, we lose sight of what a dollar means and what it should return us – this Vulcain does the opposite. Its crisp silver dial, fat dauphine hands, twisted lugs and manual movement bring a tremendous amount of thunder for well under $1,000. It’s a damn time capsule – and it’s here, for you. ROLEX DAY DATE REF. 1803 Holy shit. Right? I mean, wow. Just look at this vintage Rolex ref 1803. The white gold is so much richer than I ever would have imagined and the way it wears is intoxicating. Let's talk A little more about the Day Date: introduced in 1956, it was the first watch to feature the day of the week on full text. With a power start like that, it's really only fitting that the watch would soon become a global icon. From the wrist of LBJ to Tony Soprano, the Day Date became a symbol synonymous with success, power. Although children of the 80's definitely remember these watches as awful accessories to the finely tailored and coked up, I find them extremely versatile, especially in white gold. ROLEX OYSTER PRECISION Typically, standard oyster perpetual and precision models come fitted in 34mm cases but with this reference 6424, the case was enlarged to match its Datejust and Day Date siblings. It might be a seemingly small detail, but it means a ton. The plump, original lume plots behind each marker. Like the other details, these dots of tritium might not seem all too important but in the world of vintage Rolex, its stuff like this that makes all of the difference. ROLEX DATEJUST REF. 1601 This vintage Rolex example, with its incredibly crispy steel case, tasteful white gold fluted bezel and beautiful (and oh so rare) non-luminous dial and handset further proves that less is more and there is still, after all of those years, value in vintage Rolex. This is one of my favorite watches and I know it’ll never disappoint.
