Also included are a green Rolex pouch, a metal Rolex anchor, and a substantial collection of service records and invoices. The various service records include the watch’s reference and/or serial number and provide a particularly interesting continuous record dating back to the 1990s. DOCUMENTED MAINTENANCE HISTORY Rolex France invoice dated 24 October 2006, repair no. R30256, noting in particular the polishing of the case and bracelet, as well as the replacement of the clasp. Rolex France invoice dated 26 August 2014, service no. 4300033320, for a full service including, in particular, the reconditioning and adjustment of the movement, the replacement of the crown, the polishing of the case and a water resistance test. This service also mentions the replacement of the graduated bezel insert, with the old one being reused, the replacement of the crystal, and the replacement of the bracelet. Cost of this service: €1,632.90 including VAT. Quotation and service invoice from Maison Lepage, Lille, dated November–December 2022, with a final invoice dated 13 January 2023, for a full service costing €700 including VAT. The service carried out on 28 December 2022 included, in particular, the dismantling of the movement, the replacement of worn components, reassembly and lubrication, a water resistance test, and the polishing of the case and strap. The replacements of the crystal, the dial insert and the bezel, which were offered at that time as optional work, were not carried out. CONDITION REPORT The watch is in working order at the time of the valuation. The operation of the movement, chronometric accuracy, power reserve and long-term timekeeping have not been subjected to instrumental testing. The current water resistance was not tested during the appraisal and is not guaranteed. Signs of wear, scratches and micro-scratches on the case, bezel, bracelet and clasp, as visible in the photographs. The case and bracelet have undergone several documented polishing treatments during various servicing operations. It should be noted that Rolex documentation confirms the replacement of several components over the watch’s lifetime: the clasp in 2006; the crown, bezel insert, crystal and bracelet in 2014. These components should therefore be regarded as Rolex service parts and not necessarily as those fitted to the watch at the time of its initial delivery. No replacement of the dial or hands is mentioned in the maintenance records provided. The watch is sold with its comprehensive documentation, original Rolex warranty and accessories as photographed.
