ROLEX
2508 chronograph retailed by Astrua, ‘30s
18k rose gold coin-edge round case, n.37168, olive pushers. Salmon dial, multi-scale, applied indexes and arabic numerals. Hand-winding movement. Rolex leather strap and Rolex gold plated buckle. Size: 37 mm. Notes: Launched in the mid 1930s, reference 2508 was Rolex's very first model to feature two chronograph registers, as well as two buttons to operate the mechanism. The reference can generally be divided into two series: while models from the first generation feature olive pushers and a larger case size, second generation specimens feature rectangular pushers and a relatively smaller case diameter. Rose gold models are by far the rarest produced for this reference.
