History The Golden Horse is a well-known and relatively accessible vintage Rado model line. The reference 11675 features a 35 mm stainless steel case, a silver sunburst dial, a rotating anchor logo, twin seahorses, and a red date display. The rotating anchor logo located at 12 o'clock was originally designed to symbolize the watch's automatic winding mechanism. This reference is powered by an A. Schild automatic movement, such as the caliber AS 1789, which was utilized before Rado transitioned to ETA movements. Payment and Shipping Payment must be completed within 1–3 days after purchase.
