The Racquet and Tennis Club, familiarly known as the R&T, is a private social and athletic club at 370 Park Avenue, between East 52nd and 53rd Streets in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.

History
The Racquet Court Club opened in 1876 at 55 West 26th Street. It had two racquets courts, an indoor running track and two bowling alleys, but it did not have a tennis court. In 1890, it merged into the newly incorporated Racquet and Tennis Club, which planned to build a tennis court, moving the following year to a second, larger club house at 27 West 43rd Street (1891). This second club house had two racquets courts, one fives court and one court tennis court. The Club moved to its third, and current, home in 1918.

Building
The R&T's current clubhouse was designed by William Symmes Richardson, a partner at McKim, Mead, and White. The facility was built on a parcel offered for lease by a member of the club, Robert Goelet. Richardson, who had primary design responsibility for Pennsylvania Station and the Hotel Pennsylvania, proposed an integrated Italian Renaissance style and his firm's proposal was presented to the membership for approval in April 1916. In addition to offering its members more spacious amenities, the move to Park Avenue afforded more consistent natural light for the skylit playing courts, as well a generally more desirable location. Construction began on December 20, 1916 and was completed on September 7, 1918. The builder was Mark Edlitz, and the estimated cost was $500,000. Board of Directors at this time included financier Ogden Mills and sportsman Harry Payne Whitney.

Great for everyday wear, vibrant dial, comfy band, no locking crowns. Would buy again.
Color: 6638: Gold band & Green dial
Excellent price point, stylish, and the pictures match what you get. The green is bright and vibrant and the gold band looks real although stainless. A great piece to wear all the time without worrying about losing value. Would buy again. My biggest complaint: The small crown do not lock so they get randomly hit and cant be trusted. The time kept is fine but do no expect to be able to lock the days in. The crown wont spin to lock them.

Looks really good.
Color: 6638: Gold band & Gold dial
Looks great, quality is really good too. Only downfall is that if you don't wear it everyday, you will have to wind it up and move it to get the second hand moving again and then set the time again i can get mine sit for a whole day without resetting time but by day two it has to be reset. Even with that, it's a great watch. Have gotten lots of compliments.
