The go-to jeweller for Argentinian high society, Rolex timepieces retailed by Joyeria Ricciardi are a rare and prized find.

This is our first Ricciardi retailed vintage Rolex, so what's all the fuss about? Well, this meticulously preserved (one owner from new) steel & gold gents Date ref. 1505 was retailed in Jan 1974 in Buenos Aires, at the extremely prestigious Ricciardi boutique, that has become synonymous with collectable and important Rolex pieces, setting record prices at auction.

Hand engraved under the top left lug is the boutique's individual number 151,395 which is also denoted on the original Ricciardi bill of sale from 74'. The beautifully serifed brushed champagne dial also benefits from the most unusual wedge shaped batons, making this automatic watch even more unique. The 18ct gold engine turned bezel and perfect two-tone 7835 Oyster bracelet show little sign of wear, and would put most modern examples to shame. It is a full set accompanied with all Rolex paperwork, receipts and guarantee, plus the vintage 70's green Rolex box.
