In the 1970's as Rolex was just transitioning its dress watches to be sold under the Cellini moniker, in the midst of their high output of utilitarian Oyster sports watches, Rolex also made much more elegant dress watches. These fine wristwatches often combine a superior hand-wound mechanism with beautiful aesthetics.

The elegant and uncommon dress Rolex Precision showcased in today's offering is a prime example of this phenomenon.

It is one the last mens dress watches sold under the Precision label. It features very fine and dramatic styling with a striking royal blue vignette dial and a well-executed handwound movement.

It is large size for the era - measuring approx. 37mm in diameter without the crown - even slightly larger than a mens Rolex Datejust.

It has just finished a true expertly done restoration. With the exception of the full diamond bezel, and the lugs which have previously been added by a jeweler in order to accommodate the diamond bezel, the rest of the watch is fully Rolex down to the original crown.

It presents in gorgeous restored condition. Its case presents as mint. Its original Rolex dial has been meticulously custom refinished - the printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye.

Its movement has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is near pristine and running exceptionally strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Rolex in our testing position.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.

For the finishing touch, it has been equipped with a brand new leather strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Don't miss the opportunity to own the perfect complement to your sporty Datejust, Sub, GMT, or Daytona.
