<p>In the 1980s and ’90s, Rado led in high‑tech ceramics: the Integral and Ceramica collections were among the first watches with cases and bracelets entirely in zirconium‑oxide ceramic—five times harder than steel and lighter by 25% :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.</p>

  <li><span style="font-weight:600;">Condition grading:</span> Inspect bracelet polishing, spinning anchor emblem, dial markers, case edges and bezel integrity</li>
  <li><span style="font-weight:600;">Packaging:</span> Include original box, warranty card, instruction booklet and tags when available</li>
</ul>

<h2>Care & Maintenance Tips</h2>
<ul>
  <li>Watches: regular servicing intervals (approx. every 3–5 years), check spinning anchor as movement indicator; test water resistance before diving</li>
