This 1952 example is distinguished by a dial that seven decades have rewritten entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel Oyster case measures 36mm across and 40mm from lug to lug, with drilled lugs and a smooth polished bezel. Its deeply domed caseback, finished with a fine coin edge, gives the watch a profile no modern Rolex repeats. The screw-down crown is signed Rolex Super Oyster, the sealing system of the period, and the case asks for nothing beyond its own shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally silvered, the dial has aged into a dense field of mottled cream, grey and warm ochre — a texture closer to weathered stone than to lacquer, and the reason this example carries the name Ancient Relic. The applied gold arrowhead and dart markers stand clear of it, and the OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED CHRONOMETER line below center remains fully legible. Inspection of the dial reverse found no signs of alteration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt its heart beats the automatic Caliber 645, running at 18,000 vibrations per hour on 17 jewels with a Breguet hairspring and some 41 hours of reserve. Fully serviced in September 2026, it is now running to approximately -5 seconds a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompleting the watch is a vintage brown leather strap, carefully matched to the warmth the dial has taken on and fitted to the 19mm lug width. Not original to the watch, it accommodates a wrist of up to 18cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeathered, honest, and unmistakably vintage, this Oyster Perpetual carries the quiet authority of a watch that has kept its own record of the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- wrist size in our picture is 17cm circumference -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Rolex Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54038080717107,"sku":"2781","price":924000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/1076\/0499\/files\/01-rolex-6084-2781.jpg?v=1788850598","url":"https:\/\/principe-prive-epocadoro.com\/products\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-ancient-relic-patina-dial-1952","provider":"PRINCIPE PRIVE - Epoca d'Oro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
