An extremely rare collector's piece, known as the "Tropical" model, with a blue dial and bezel that has beautifully changed to brown.

It is rare to see the bezel and other parts aged to brown like this. It was serviced at Rolex Japan in March 2018, and the details and invoice from that time are included.

The bracelet is also original 18K yellow gold. This bracelet has distinctive features such as a flash fit buckle. Surprisingly, it is actually quite hard to find. Gold was very expensive at the time, so it is assumed that few people purchased this combination. The standard combination of the watch body and leather strap was the case, and in most cases the bracelet was added later. Therefore, this next type of bracelet is quite common.
