Authentic Vintage Rolex Green Leather Card Wallet Passport Holder 68.08.55
The edit · Curiosities
A used curiosity in green leather. Curiosities are the pieces that do not fit a category, which is exactly why they are worth having. A story, a stamp or an original label turns a curiosity into a collectible.
The name on the wrist that never lost value.
Founded in London in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis, then moved to Geneva in 1919. Rolex made the first water-resistant wristwatch, the Oyster, in 1926, and the first self-winding movement with a perpetual rotor in 1931.
No other brand holds value like Rolex. Steel sports models from the 1960s and 1970s, the Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master, are among the most liquid collectibles on earth, and their scarcity is part of the design.
What to look for
Check the reference number between the lugs and the serial, and whether the dial, hands and bracelet are period-correct. An original dial and an unpolished case are worth far more than a refinished one.
Provenance beats condition here. A story, a stamp, or an original label turns a curiosity into a collectible.
