Rolex

Produced between 1942 and 1963, the Reference 4062 was made in different metals combinations including stainless steel, two-tone gold, yellow, or pink gold such as a present example.

While chronographs are usually associated with sporty designs, this model, with its teardrop lugs, rectangular pushers and coin-edge band would today be considered as a dressier watch. Its 36mm diameter and slim case makes it particularly elegant and enjoyable to wear.

The dial is particularly attractive, having taken on a warm hue that heightens the strong pink case, indexes and hands. The case back coronet and case number also remains in good, legible condition.

Interestingly, it features a French dial, with the “chronographe” and the “anti-magnetique” and the movement is engraved “Fab Suisse”, standing for “Fabriqué en Suisse”, demonstrating that the piece was made for exportation.
