The rare and beautiful ladies wristwatch featured in today's offering is a wonderful example of one of those pieces. Featuring a very classic case 18K gold with special "crown" style lugs, suggestive of Rolex's coronet symbol, a silver dial, and a fine Rolex mechanism, this gem fits in well on the wrist of an attorney, executive businesswoman, or any woman desiring to wear a true world-class wristwatch.
Here are a few of this watch's features:
- Rare case with glamorous lug decoration, embodying classic 1950's vintage style
- Solid 18K gold case - unlike most Rolex's dress style watches for sale in the United States that were cased in 14K gold in the U.S. this is a true all-Swiss Rolex creation.
- High quality Rolex Precision mechanism with dual shock absorbers
- Egg-shell dial with distinctive markers
- Original jewelers 14K gold and diamond band - presumably sold and fitted in the U.S. at the time of the original sale
It is fully Rolex down to all hands and the signed winding crown. This uncommon and classic Rolex is in pleasing condition. Its elegant and somewhat avant-garde gold case is in very good condition. Its silver dial appears to have been restored in vintage times. Its high-grade Rolex movement is keeping time.
One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Modern Rolexes can't match the charm and romance of this unusual vintage Rolex.
