Introduced in the early 40s, reference 4500 marked a turning point for Rolex chronograph design, introducing a new case style with straighter and more pointed lugs that is still found until today. Offered in several iterations and dial graphics, the most common configurations of the model feature steel cases, with the rarer variations in 18k gold, such as the present watch.
