Item description

This listing is for a genuine Rolex presentation watch box set, supplied exactly as shown in the listing photographs. All components are authentic Rolex OEM packaging.

Included in this listing

• Rolex red vintage presentation watch box, reference 14.00.02
• Original period-correct Rolex watch cushion
• Outer stone-pattern Rolex presentation box with original retailer’s stock label

Only the items listed above are included. No watch is included.

Outer box details

The stone-pattern outer box is in outstanding, crisp condition and retains the original retailer’s stock label, “69174”, on the lid side. Next to the label is a red handwritten “6” and a small handwritten character, likely a Japanese stock-room notation from the period. These markings are typical of authorised dealer inventory control and support the box’s original retail provenance.

Compatibility and suitable models

This presentation box is from the late 1970s to early 1980s and is suitable for a range of Rolex models originally supplied with this red leatherette and gold-trim style box. It is particularly appropriate for:

• Rolex Datejust, including 1601, 1603, 16014, 16030, 16013 and similar references
• Rolex Oyster Perpetual, 34mm and 36mm models
• Rolex Air-King 5500 series
• Rolex Oysterdate and Precision models
• Lady-Datejust, including 6917, 69173 and similar references
• Oysterquartz Datejust, selected references

This list is provided as a guide only. If matching a specific watch, please compare the box style and dimensions with your original packaging or documentation.

Clarification

Although the original retailer’s stock label corresponds to a Lady-Datejust reference, 69174, this presentation box, reference 14.00.02, was supplied by Rolex with both men’s and ladies’ models during the late 1970s to early 1980s. It is a unisex Datejust and Oyster Perpetual-era box, not a ladies-only box. The stock label reflects how this retailer allocated its inventory at the time.

Era and reference details

• Rolex presentation box reference: 14.00.02
• Approximate era: late 1970s to mid-1980s
• Underside stamped in gold: “MONTRES ROLEX S.A. – GENEVE SUISSE” with twin coronets
