The Quintessential Era of Elegance
Offered here is an exceptional example of one of Rolex’s most ornate and distinctive packaging designs: the Reference 60.01.2. Produced during the golden era of the 1970s and 1980s, this box was the exclusive companion to Rolex’s most prestigious "precious metal" timepieces, most notably the 18k Gold Ladies' President (Day-Date) and all-gold Datejust models.
Key Specifications & Features:
Reference: 60.01.2 (Stamped on base: Montres Rolex S.A. – Geneve Suisse)
Exterior: Rich crimson red leather (or high-grade period synthetic) featuring a spring-hinged lid.
Lid Detail: Hand-finished floral tapestry embroidery with an integrated central Rolex crown—a design miles apart from the minimalist green boxes of the modern era Chrono-Shop.
Interior: Lined in plush red velvet with a white silk-style lid liner. Does not feature the original period-correct velvet display pillow/insert.
Dimensions: Approximately 18cm x 13cm x 6cm (7.1” x 5.1” x 2.4”).
Condition Report:
Tapestry: Vibrant colors with no fraying or sun-fading to the embroidery.
Exterior Leather: Maintains a deep, uniform red hue; corners are sharp with minimal shelf wear.
Hinge: Firm and snappy "Rolex click" upon closing.
Interior: Clean, odorless, and free of the common "flaking" found in poorly stored vintage sets.
Why This Matters for Your Collection:
For the serious collector, "Box and Papers" aren't just accessories—they are the watch's passport. A period-correct 60.01.2 can increase the resale value of a vintage gold Rolex by 10% to 20% Diamond Banc. Whether you are completing a "Full Set" for investment or simply want the most regal display for your President, this tapestry box is an essential acquisition. See less
