ROLEX Il Texano No. 458 – 1970s
What a massive chunk of gold! This stunning Rolex Ref. 5100 is a prime example of vintage luxury from the 1970s, limited to just 1,000 units. With its historically significant and rare pedigree, this particular watch bears the unique serial number “458” engraved on the case back, marking it as the 458th “Il Texano” ever produced. Crafted from 18k solid gold, both the case and bracelet are in remarkable vintage condition, and yes—it’s a substantial, commanding timepiece. Powered by the high-performance Beta 21 quartz movement, it runs smoothly and keeps time with precision. While details remain a bit mysterious, a close friend and longtime colleague of legendary designer Gérald Genta has claimed that Genta himself was behind the original design of the Il Texano. Adding to its allure, the watch features a flawless golden dial that perfectly complements the richness of its design. This is a true wrist classic from an iconic brand—one of the finest examples of Rolex’s dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Limited to just 1,000 pieces, it’s a highly coveted collector’s item and a shining symbol of timeless luxury.
