Centuries of craftsmanship can be found in this beautiful 18K gold dress watch by Rolex. The detail of the hand-wrought case complements the classic vintage-styled dial and master-crafted movement.

This ladies Rolex is the perfect accent for the most precious of times. Unlike similar Rolex watches encased in 14K made for the U.S. market, this is a true Swiss Rolex creation.

Here are a few of its features:

• Elegant and luxurious 18K gold case
• Classic silver dial with gold markers
• High grade Rolex mechanism with Super Balance system for greater accuracy

It presents charmingly. The Rolex markings on the back show clearly and the serial number remains visible (they are lightly stamped and often no longer show up after the case is polished).

Our watchmaker has just freshly cleaned and oiled its high-grade Rolex movement that has dual shock absorbers and timed it on a state-of-the-art computerized system. It continue to keep very accurate time.

It comes on its original/period high quality J.B. champion black cord bracelet. Please inquire if you would like a different bracelet or a black cord band.

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