Rolex Oyster L Large Green Wave Presentation Watch Box Ref. 39141.02 with Papers

The box is clearly stamped “ROLEX SA – GENEVE SUISSE 39141.02”, so we can positively describe it as Rolex presentation box reference 39141.02.

Some age related wear shows it's authenticity ( see pictures)

18 cm wide

12 cm depth

8 cm tall

Probably 1980s but difficult to age precisely

That reference is generally catalogued as the Rolex Oyster L (Large) green “wave” presentation box. Specialist Rolex box dealers associate the 39141.02 with the larger presentation boxes used particularly for higher-end/precious-metal models, including Day-Date and Daytona, although most likely any specific model cannot be confirmed until paperwork establishes that.

It also helps the value. Current asking prices are quite scattered: an Oyster L 39141.02 box is currently around £231 on eBay, while a specialist UK dealer has a complete box-and-outer-box example at £299; another specialist dealer lists the 39141.02 at €329. This has the cushion, Rolex seal and paperwork, although apparently not the outer cardboard counter-box.

Rolex Oyster L Large Green Wave Presentation Watch Box Ref. 39141.02 with Papers & Seal And the identification number on base

This is an original Rolex Oyster L large presentation box, reference 39141.02, positively identified by the gold-stamped wording to the underside:

ROLEX SA – GENEVE SUISSE

39141.02

The substantial green presentation box features Rolex's distinctive moulded wave-pattern lid, gold-tone coronet fastening and beautifully fitted cream interior with removable watch cushion. This larger Oyster L style belongs to Rolex's semi-modern presentation packaging and is particularly associated with the prestigious end of the Rolex range.

Included are the Rolex S.A. Genève green seal/hang tag together with the assorted Rolex booklets and International Guarantee paperwork shown in the photographs.

Suggested Price: £225 And for a Rolex collector, that 39141.02 photograph is probably one of the most important images in the whole listing. It removes a lot of uncertainty about exactly what they're buying.
