Rolex · Chronometer · 9ct Gold · Cream Arabic Dial · 1940s

A hand-wound Rolex dress watch from the 1940s in a hallmarked 9ct gold case by the Rolex Watch Company. The cream dial carries full Arabic numerals, a railway minute track and small seconds at six, with slender leaf hands over a gently patinated surface. Behind it sits a chronometer-grade movement, signed Rolex, eighteen rubies, timed to six positions and fitted with the Superbalance. Cased for the British market and worn with honest character. A refined example of mid-century Rolex.
