Description: Unpolished German Double Quick with a rare dial and great scope of delivery.
The case is in wonderfully unpolished condition. The watch has been worn, but the original owner was careful and looked after his watch. Therefore you will find the usual light mini-scratches on the case and a small nick here and there, but overall it is really in wonderful condition. Since the watch is unpolished, the case also shows perfect proportions, sharp edges and a great matte finish on the top of the case.
The dial is a small hidden highlight. Why? I love day-dates and I know a lot of dial variants. The silver sunray-cut dial with diamonds is one of the rarest classic dials and the contrast of the silver sunray-cut with the yellow gold case is wonderful. Condition of the dial is wonderful and without any weaknesses. In addition, the lume on the dial and hands has acquired a great patina. I LOVE.
The bezel is wonderfully sharp, equally unpolished and the sapphir glas is perfect.
These unpolished beauties are becoming really rare on the market, but here it gets even rarer and better. The watch comes with box and papers, as well as the original purchase invoice from Germany.
Sold on April 3, 1997 by rolex authorized dealer Kamphuis in Karlsruhe.
By the way, a little info for you: On the right-hand side of the papers you will see a green sticker showing both the reference and serial number of the watch. This was applied exclusively by Rolex Cologne in order to make the papers easier to identify when they are filed in an archive system specially developed by Rolex Cologne. GERMAN CORRECTNESS 😉
Just as the watch, the 8385 President bracelet is unpolished, with the crown perfectly intact. Similar to the watch, it shows light signs of wear and only light stretch. It comes with 22 links and with clasp code W5 for May 1995, which is the original bracelet for the watch.
Conclusion: Day-Dates my Love. If you don’t have one, please buy one. If you already have one, please buy another one. You get a beautiful watch that can be combined with anything and simply boosts your mood instantly.
