Rado Automatic Day-Date Purple Horse
Design and housing architecture
The Reference 636.3582.4 is a characteristic example of the avant-garde design that characterized Rado in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The stainless steel case impresses with its striking design with integrated lugs that allow a smooth transition to the wrist. The Finissage shows a skillful combination of polished surfaces and sharp-edged Chamfers, which, despite its age, are in exceptionally well-preserved condition on this model. The dial bears the iconic „Purple Horse“ logo and the rotating anchor at 12 o'clock - the trademark of the Rado automatic models. Another highlight is the fluted bezel, which gives the timepiece additional visual depth and elegance.
Technology and complication
Inside, the reliable Caliber ETA 2836-2, a proven workhorse of the Swiss watch industry with automatic winding function. The movement has a practical day-date complication at 3 o'clock, whereby the day of the week and the date can be adjusted via a quick setting. The balance works with a stable Amplitude, which underlines the robustness of the construction. With a Power reserve of approx. 40 hours, this classic is also ideal for daily use. The symbiosis of rare vintage aesthetics and maintenance-friendly Swiss mechanics makes this Purple Horse an interesting object for beginners and seasoned collectors alike.
