Vintage Rolex Green Leather and Wood Presentation Watch Box
This is a vintage Rolex watch presentation box, typically accompanying models from the 1970s through the early 1990s. The exterior is finished in a signature dark hunter green leather or leatherette with a subtle pebble grain texture. The interior is distinctive for its high-quality wooden lining, likely cedar or mahogany, finished with a clear varnish that highlights the warm orange-toned wood grain. A prominent Rolex coronet logo and the 'ROLEX' brand name are printed in gold or black ink on the inner silk or leather panel of the lid. The box features a hinged rectangular construction with tight tolerances, indicative of Swiss craftsmanship. Structurally, the box appears sound with the hinge functioning correctly. Condition-wise, there is visible minor edge wear and light scuffing on the green exterior finish, particularly at the corners. The interior wood shows light surface marks but maintains a rich sheen. Missing from this unit is the original velvet or suede watch pillow or C-clip usually found inside. This style of 'wood-lined' box is highly sought after by collectors as it represents a specific era of Rolex luxury prior to the transition to modern wave-patterned boxes.
