In my collection of vintage documents I have found this guarantee type document, what year or era could it be?

Probably '90s. That's about the time that the red-seal began showing up with the chronometer hologram instead of any other chronometer paperwork.

Font style looks mid-80s to early 90s

The Rolex Brochure looks like a 1993 one to me btw.

The red wax seal already existed at the end of the 60's

I've never seen that paper before. Interesting indeed.

vintage documentation

Isn't it is unusual to have no printed logos or other border decoration/designation by Rolex?

So many certificates and documents contain these from the past stretching back into 1957 as "Supelative" became a thing on the papers and the dials.

If I was guessing, the OPs document might have been a printer's "proof"...

I have seen a few of these from UK supplied watches and seem to be from the late 60's.
