ROLEX Royalite ref.4220 cal.710 / 1940s Majestic Dial

— The resonance of a forgotten era —

Ref.4220, a Rolex Royalite made in the 1940s.

A memory of an era faded like ash, still keeping its beat today.

— A poem of the Majestic dial —

A Majestic dial with a 24-hour display.

The red seconds hand draws the eye quietly, like an ember.

Within its ruggedness there is a certain fragile beauty.

— The resonance of a burnt dial —

A two-tone of silver worked back to the base and thoroughly burnt matt white.

Like a wall wrapped in mist, the weathering of time has marked out beauty.

— Strength held in a small case —

About 30mm across.

A well-judged thickness with a massive form.

An oversized crown sharpens the vintage atmosphere.

— Wearing the air of wartime —

A military type that was popular during the Second World War.

Born in a chaotic era and quietly surviving it, this watch has a form that inspires a quiet respect in anyone who sees it.
