The Midas Collection, Which Was Designed By The Legendary Gerald Genta, Originated In 1962. The Collection Takes Inspiration From The Greek Mythological Tale Of King Midas Of Phrygia Who With His “Golden Touch” Was Able To Turn Everything He Touched To Gold. This Specific Reference Was Introduced In 1972 And Saw The Implementation Of Leather Straps To The Line. This 28mm Timepiece Features A Distinctive Pentagonal Asymmetrical 18k Yellow Gold Case That Is “Left Handed” With The Crown Being Positioned On The Left, A Gold Mirror Dial Boasting The Rolex Crown.
This Vintage Timepiece Is In Truly Remarkable Condition. The Bezel Is Free From Scratches, The Dial Is Exceptionally Preserved With Only Minimal Dust/One Tiny Patina Spot That Can Be Polished Off, And The Caseback Shows Extremely Small Signs Of Wear Through Scratches. The Crown Has Significant Fading, But Is Original To The Reference Upon Further Inspection By Watchmakers In NYC.
Bracelet Has Been Changed To A Matching Asymmetrical Dark Blue Crocodile Leather Strap - But The Original Rolex Folding Clasp With Rolex Crown Has Been Kept! The Original Strap Is In Poor Condition But Can Be Included In The Purchase For No Charge As A Collection Commodity.
