1950's Rolex Ladies Vintage Cocktail Watch - 18K White Gold & Diamonds

Rolex

Item No. 10029

Today's offering showcases this Rolex creation. It is fully Rolex. It is a special creation in the style of those made excluisively 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 diamonds, the 18K white Rolex gold case exhibits refined Art Moderne geometry that catches light with quiet brilliance. 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.

It is all-original down to the hands and original winding crown. Its case is in excellent condition with light signs or previous polishing. It retains a strong hallmark.

Its silver dial is original and untouched with fairly mild aging and light toning. And its high-grade original handwound Rolex movement is near pristine.

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, has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, installing a new correct mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (an $895 value).

It is running strongly, and continues to keep very accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have carefully detailed it and installed a new steel mesh bracelet, designed to replicate the style of the original making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Accompanying the watch is a delightful vintage Rolex for Bucherer spoon — a collectible nod to the long partnership between these two storied Swiss houses and a fitting companion to this elegant timepiece.

Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to the watch’s performance.

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.
