Notes
This very rare and unusual rectangular shape wristwatch was made by Rolex in the 1940’s. Interestingly out of the only other 2 known examples, they are all in yellow gold with a black dial. Its central inner constant seconds dial combined with a case in excellent condition with 2 hallmarks still visible confirm its excellent condition for its age.
