What sets this example apart is its original pink\/salmon \"California\" dial – a combination of considerable rarity, all the more so as reprinted or repainted California dials are commonplace on the market. This one is authentic and superbly preserved. Originally designed for military use in order to prevent any upside-down reading, the dial combines Roman numerals in the upper section and Arabic numerals in the lower section, all generously filled with radium. The blued steel Mercedes hands display a patina matching the markers.\nThe Oyster case remains in excellent condition, retains its original Oyster Patent crown, and the movement has undergone a complete service.\nAgainst a backdrop of renewed major interest in 1940s Rolex watches, this is a rare opportunity for the discerning collector.","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54483144474947,"sku":"PVZW","price":11400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/1378\/9763\/files\/PVZW-Superbe-et-Rare-Rolex-Speedking-ref-4220-de-1943-Cadran-Salmon-California-au-Radium-Flat-Back-Front-1.jpg?v=1779716027","url":"https:\/\/amplitudewatches.co\/en\/products\/superb-and-rare-1943-rolex-speedking-ref-4220-salmon-california-radium-dial-flat-back-pvzw","provider":"Amplitude","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
