Notes

These early dress watches by Rolex are in themselves quite rare at a time where Rolex Princes and bubblebacks were at their height. Housed in a 18k yellow gold case (most are found in steel) measuring a huge 37 mm for the time, examples preserved in their all original state like this one with its original dial and numbers still present on the outer case are exceptionally rare.

Provenance

Property of a Swiss collector
