Complete with its 14K rose gold case that features distinctive large hinged lugs and a complementary salmon dial (face), it has timeless elegance and class.
Powering this gem is a fine, early Rolex timekeeping mechanism. Featuring Rolex's patented Super Balance system as well as possessing a tonneau shape for longer running reserve and more accurate timekeeping, it employed Rolex's premier movement technology for the era.
The movement is higher grade than those normally found in the company's dress watches from this era and was originally adjusted to two positions. It is also earlier than most similar watches which were made in the mid-1940's.
While many of the company's similar ladies dress watches from the era were very nice, this example is a little unusual in the beauty of its case design and the quality of its movement.
It has all of its original parts except for the winding crown which was replaced in vintage times, and its handwound movement has just finished a restoration by our two watchmakers including our Master Watchmaker that was nearly two-years in length. Photos of the inside available upon request.
Its case is in pleasing condition. Its dial is a nice restoration that is nearly as old as the watch and looks original to the eye.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
