Item Details

Rolex Swiss Chronometer Automatic Calibre 3185 circa 1998

40mm brushed and polished stainless steel case with a 50-hour power reserve, water resistant to 330 feet / 100 meters. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass featuring a Cyclops calendar lens, a fixed satin-brushed stainless steel 24-hour bezel displaying exceptionally crisp filled numerals, and an authentic "holes" case structure offering classic neo-vintage architecture. Unmistakable and legendary on-wrist presence thanks to its pristine stark white "Polar" dial, contrasting black-parameter hour plots, classic Mercedes hands, and striking red GMT independent hour hand capable of tracking up to three distinct time zones.

On its matching original, period-correct three-link stainless steel Oyster bracelet (Ref. 78790) featuring hollow end links, a secure folding Oysterlock clasp, and seamless lug integration. A highly coveted "design pivot" transitional evolution of the adventure icon housing a prestigious chronometer-certified automatic movement, featuring original, final-production tritium luminous elements designated by the historical "T Swiss < 25" dial signature, and a quick-set date window crisp at 3 o'clock.

Complete Set, with original Rolex luxury presentation boxes, serial-matching swing tags, and highly documented provenance including original historical purchase receipts. Exceptional, pristine condition displaying razor-sharp factory case lines, flawless component tolerances, and an incredibly crisp bezel execution marking an elite collector-grade example of the final tritium era.
