If, like us, you have an appreciation for early Rolex chronographs which conjure up the very beginnings of the lineage, then look no further than this stainless steel beauty from around 1937. 2508: the first reference to feature two pushers to operate the chronograph and two subsidiary dials, one for the running seconds and the other featuring a 30-minute register. The black dial perfectly complements the steel case - which is in fantastic condition - producing a timeless sportiness imbued with mid-1930s cool. The watch is lot 411 of our Important Watches sale, to be held in Geneva on 12 November – estimate CHF 100,000 – 200,000. #sothebyswatches #sothebysgeneva #rolex #rolexchronograph #steel #chronograph #vintagewatch #vintagechronograph #blackdial #ref2508
