It is in outstanding condition throughout and comes with a beautiful original CHAMPAGNE dial and famous 14K yellow gold turn-o-graph "Thunderbird" bezel.

This did not comes with box or paperwork, but is 100% guaranteed authentic and accurate as written. It is being offered to you with NO RESERVE!
Movement: Rolex 26 jewel, automatic movement, with date Calibre 1570. This is a "non-quickset", which means the date cannot be changed independently without the hour hand passing midnight. Running great and winds easily. From our limited observation it appears to be keeping good time, but has not been timed professionally. So we cannot guarantee it is keeping time in accordance with Rolex factory specifications.
Bracelet: Stainless steel & 14K yellow gold "Jubilee" bracelet. It is in nice condition with expected droop from one of this age, but looks great on the wrist. It is generously sized and should fit most as it is huge on my 7 1/2 inch wrist.
Case: Stainless steel 36mm wide case (not including lugs or crown) with: 14K yellow gold rotational "Thunderbird" bezel; 14K yellow gold signed Rolex crown and solid caseback.
Crystal: Rolex scratch resistant plastic crystal. As stated above it does have some minor scratches, but. I probably wouldn't change it if it were me. But if you want it done prior to shipping, let me know and I will get you a quote.
Dial: Beautiful original Rolex Champagne dial with: yellow gold stick markers; yellow gold hands (hour, minute and seconds); with date at h3. Looks AMAZING!!
This is a great looking watch that is one of Rolex's most collectible pieces of all time. These are becoming harder and harder to finder in original condition as thee bezel are virtually impossible to find. Picking one up this nice is sure to enhance nearly any collection and look great on your wrist. Due to its age (over 50+ years old), this is sold as-is and no returns will be accepted for this item.
