A guide for this piece: about $737, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

A vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual in a gold-coloured case, with a textured champagne dial, black baton markers and a self-winding movement, on a black leather strap.
The Piece
The Oyster case arrived in 1926; Rolex's Perpetual rotor followed in 1931 and the Datejust in 1945. These are family-history milestones, not this watch's date or a fresh water-resistance rating. The reference and dial signature need to be checked against the case and movement before claims of matching original components can be made.
The watch has a smooth bezel and a gold-coloured case over a steel case back. The champagne dial has a woven, textured finish with black baton markers, slim gold hands and the lines Superlative Chronometer, Officially Certified.
The watch was as running and its numeric 4–5 appearance range allows some wear. The strap is a black crocodile-patterned leather strap and it is not original.
Details
- Maker: Rolex
- Model: Oyster Perpetual
- Metal fineness and component originality not newly tested.
- Movement: Automatic
- Colour: Gold-coloured; champagne dial; black strap
Condition
Original Japanese rank 4–5: Original numeric 4–5 denotes the appearance range, without a new independent grade. Running was historically reported only. The patterned strap is aftermarket; wear remains visible. See Japanese condition ranks.
The dial has a woven-looking texture rather than a plain flat finish. No exact reference or measured case diameter accompanies the description.
Authenticity & Care
Keep dry pending a qualified watchmaker's inspection of the movement, crown, seals and fastening. Do not force a damaged crown or polish aged dial surfaces. Identity, component originality, metal fineness and service history remain individual checks.
Delivery from Japan
Confirm protective packing and destination requirements before dispatch. Precious-metal and animal-material carriage requires a permitted route; these pieces travel by a permitted route.
