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 all-Swiss Rolex creation.
Here are a few of its features:
- Elegant and luxurious 18K gold case
- Classic silver dial with gold markers and Rolex coronet logo
- High grade Rolex mechanism with shock resistance
It presents charmingly and has just finished an expertly done sympathetic restoration that took just under one year to complete. Its case presents in just short of mint condition with a very crisp hallmark on the side. 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).
Its dial has been restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America.
Note that the darkened appearance of one of the hands in the photographs is just a reflection of the camera.
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 does not "certify" they only "train"), 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 $695 value). It is running very strong.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new black cord strap designed to replicate the look of the original making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
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.
