Rado Vintage: Swiss collector’s watches from the 1960s to the 1980s
The Rado Vintage collection brings together the oldest timepieces from the Swiss watchmaker Rado — watches produced between the 1960s and the 1980s, even before the DiaStar era. These models bear witness to Rado’s early creative decades, featuring period designs, gold-plated cases, gold or champagne-coloured dials, and integrated link bracelets characteristic of Swiss watchmaking from that era.
Rare and authentic collector’s items
Rado watches from this generation are now sought-after collector’s items amongst vintage watch enthusiasts. Their reference numbers — engraved on the back of the case — allow for precise identification and rigorous authentication. Among the most iconic models of this era are the Rado Anatom, with its ergonomic case that hugs the wrist, and the first Florence models, with their distinctive feminine silhouette.
