Details
Description
Nicknamed the "Chameleon", the reference 8413 was a unique and highly eccentric watch produced in limited quantities by Rolex, with a unique lugless design which instead allowed straps to be threaded through the case back. This gave the watch the ability to quickly change straps, earning its nickname.
Condition Report
Very GoodThe watch is in very good condition, especially considering its age, with light signs of surface wear but retains crisp case back engravings. The movement is running at the time of cataloging, however, it was not tested for the accuracy of time or duration of the power reserve and may need service at the buyer's discretion. Please note that Sotheby's does not guarantee the future working of the movement.
