Vintage Rado Watches From Golden Horse to Matterhorn

Vintage Rado makes the most sense as two distinct propositions. The Golden Horse reference 11675 is a 1960s automatic in a 35 mm stainless-steel case, with a silver sunburst dial, rotating anchor, twin seahorses and red date. A Purple Horse or Serbia offers another route into the earlier catalogue, but the Golden Horse provides the clearest benchmark because its identifying details can be compared directly. The 1970s watches changed the proposition. The Voyager reference 1941298 used a 36 mm tonneau case and vertical day-date display, while the Matterhorn paired a 38 mm cushion case with a two-tone vertically striped dial. That difference matters more than the model name: one sits as a compact period daily watch, while the other puts its case shape and dial texture first.
