This is one of Rado’s premium modern presentation boxes, supplied with the brand’s mid‑to‑upper‑tier automatic and ceramic models. It features the upgraded soft‑touch grey interior, crisp gold branding, and the modern minimalist exterior design. This is a significantly more substantial and refined box than Rado’s standard packaging.

⭐ Barcode & Model Reference Label (Outer Sleeve)

The outer sleeve retains its original factory barcode label, including the Rado internal reference code and the specific watch reference number:

• Barcode: Present and fully intact

• Rado Internal Reference: REF. 08.185

• Original Watch Reference Number: R12413314

This reference corresponds to the Rado DiaStar “The Original” / modern DiaStar automatic line, confirming the sleeve is model‑specific, not generic.

This adds further authenticity and collector value.

Outer Box:

• 13.5 cm × 13.5 cm × 10 cm

Complete Set Weight (unpacked):

• 657 grams

This confirms it is one of Rado’s premium, substantial modern presentation boxes, noticeably heavier and more solid than the lightweight packaging supplied with entry‑level models.

All components in this listing are genuine Rado OEM packaging, manufactured for Rado as part of their modern premium packaging line.

We do not sell replicas, aftermarket boxes, or third‑party replacements.

Every item is verified for correct construction, materials, branding, and model‑appropriate design.

---

Is this a genuine Rado box?

Yes — this is an original Rado OEM presentation box from the modern premium packaging generation.

Does Rado make their packaging in Switzerland?

No. Like all modern Rado, Longines, Tissot, and Omega non‑wood boxes, this packaging is manufactured for Rado in China to their specifications.

Is this the correct box for my watch?

This premium box is suitable for many of Rado’s modern automatic and ceramic models, including Captain Cook, True Square, DiaStar “The Original”, HyperChrome, Centrix Automatic, and Golden Horse.

Why does the outer sleeve mention quartz?

Rado uses generic packaging instructions on many modern sleeves. These do not necessarily correspond to the movement type of the watch originally supplied with the box.

---

Every box we sell is individually inspected, photographed, and described.

We do not use stock photos or generic templates.

Condition notes apply to the exact item shown, including any small marks, storage impressions, or handling signs.

We generally do not bulk‑list watch boxes, as two watch boxes are very rarely identical — differences in construction, wear, storage history, and model‑specific details mean each one deserves its own dedicated listing.

---

We never describe used items as ‘new’ or ‘new other’ under any circumstances.

Every pre‑owned watch box is listed strictly according to its true, observed condition, with clear notes on any marks, wear, or missing components.

This ensures buyers always receive an honest, accurate representation of the item — no surprises, no over‑stated condition claims.

---

We pack all boxes securely to protect the structure, corners, and interior during transit.

For international buyers, we offer:

• eBay’s Global Shipping Programme (GSP)

• Royal Mail International Tracked

Both options provide full tracking and reliable delivery.
