Bakelite was chosen as the bezel material for its high readability, but due to its fragility, Rolex quickly decided to replace the Bakelite with a metal bezel insert. The present example stands out for its original Bakelite bezel, still radioactive, which over time has transformed into a splendid shade of burgundy red and midnight blue. The tropical and spider golden dial is in perfect harmony with the indexes which turn to brown tones. This model is also known for being worn by the character 'Pussy Galore' played by actress Honor Blackman, in the iconic 1964 film 'Goldfinger' in the famous James Bond film 007. The watch we present is in splendid original condition; still radioactive, the mechanics are in perfect condition, and the watch is accompanied by its original set with period documents and invoice as just delivered by the dealer. A unique item for any collector.
