Catalogue Essay Rolex’s reference 4062 is a timepiece that can easily be compared to chronographs made by Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe in terms of elegance and sophistication. This reference was produced from 1942 until approximately 1963 and cased in a variety of metals, ranging from yellow gold, pink gold, stainless steel, to stainless steel and gold combinations. The present lot in steel and rose gold is a rarer version featuring a ribbed band emphasizing the watch’s cachet. In overall excellent condition, featuring a very desirable and rare pulsation scale dial and a playful steel and pink gold case, the present lot stands out from Rolex’s traditional production and will speak to the collector looking for a vintage “dress” chronograph showing tasteful restraint and refinement. The fact that publisher and scholar extraordinaire Pucci Papaleo chose this timepiece to be featured in his book dedicated to Rolex chronographs speaks volumes about the quality, beauty and rarity of this watch.
