Today's offering showcases this beautiful Rolex creation. It is fully Rolex. It is a special creation in the style of those made exclusively for Bucherer, the premier Swiss watch retailer and jeweler. As Hess and Dowling state in their authoritative work on Rolex, watches like this are, "in fact, the last hand made Rolex watches."
Bejeweled with six diamonds, the 18K white Rolex gold case is absolutely stunning! Our photos couldn't do justice to the striking dimensional quality of its lugs. This cocktail watch added the perfect finishing touch to outfits worn to galas, award ceremonies, or other special gatherings.
The brilliant diamonds are white, near flawless, and full of fire as one would expect from original Rolex factory set diamonds.
Its case is in very good condition with fairly light and fairly light scratches to the case back. It has not recently been polished - please inquire if you would like it done.
Its silver dial has just been restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America. And its high-grade original handwound Rolex movement is very clean.
One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be an authorized Rolex watchmaker (for many years now Rolex has not "certified" watchmakers, they only "train" them), has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine Rolex parts, installing a new mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $795 value).
For the finishing touch we have carefully detailed it and installed a new black cord bracelet, designed to replicate the style of the original making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Accompanying the watch is a very cool original Rolex for Bucherer spoon.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
If you are looking for a true treasure for that special someone in your life, this is it. Modern Rolexes don't match the charm and romance of this vintage original.
