Rolex Padellone Reference 8171 Unpolished

This Rolex "Padellone" reference 8171 is an exceptional timepiece. It features a non-luminous dial made by Fabrique de Cadran Stern Frères and feuille hands with an English calendar. The dial is in fantastic condition, considering many of these timepieces were subject to water ingress and humidity. The blue numerals on the outer track are extremely attractive and complement the moonphase. We believe the case is unpolished. It measures 38mm in diameter (47mm lug to lug). Wearing the 8171 is very nice, due to the large dimensions. This example dates to circa 1952. It is paired on a period-correct Gay Freres bracelet.

The watch came from the original owner. It does not come with box and papers. It was recently serviced and it is running well.
