Up for sale is a circa 1978 14kt gold Rolex 1550 (gold cap) on a new brown Rolex leather strap w/ Rolex tang buckle. Case measures 34.5mm. Comes with Rolex box, original mud brown OEM strap, appraisal, and invoice for full service (including replacement of crystal) completed in late May of 2021. Firm (non-negotiable) at $3500.
BTW-"gold cap" refers to the gold-capped shell of the case which is a technique that Rolex used resulting in a higher gold content (240 microns) than gold-plated cases (10-20 microns of gold) or gold-filled cases (80-100 microns of gold). Basically, the gold won't wear off.
