[SOLD] 1980s Vintage Rado 2836 Purple Horse "Silver"


Introducing
Rado 2836 Purple Horse "Silver"
Circa 1980s

Because Lone Ranger.

Bad jokes aside, this offering has a shine worthy of a new watch. The bright stainless steel case is complemented by a polished white dial with outstanding hour batons erected clearly on the dial.

The Rotating Rado logo sits at 12'O, with the two red seahorses embellished at 6'O.


Right off I notice the mandarin day wheel. So rare! I've actually never seen one before, so this one got into the collection quickly. In nice symmetry, the Rado logo and the date day-date window sit side-by-side. 

What a dial.


Topped off by a raised acrylic glass, fluted bezel and a jubilee bracelet, the Silver is indeed a runaway favourite for those who like class.
