Historical Background
The 1964 Tokyo Olympics marked Japan’s post-war reemergence onto the global stage — and Rado was among a few Swiss manufacturers to issue limited gold commemorative watches for the event. These pieces were often presented to dignitaries, Olympic officials, and special guests, making them exceptionally scarce today.
