Centuries of craftsmanship can be found in this beautiful Connoisseur of Time Certified Pre-Owned gold dress watch by Rolex. The exquisite detail of the hand-wrought bracelet complements the elegant and understated gold case and the vintage styled dial.
It is a perfect accent for the most precious of times. Here are a few of its features:
* Understated round gold Rolex dress case
* Beautiful original Rolex handmade tapering gold bracelet. It has its original hand hammered Florentine finish on the center links accented to the sides by small beads of rice style links. We love the distinctive feel of this bracelet. It's unlike the simpler design of many similar Lady Rolex watches from the era.
* Silver dial with distinctive gold vintage styled markers.
* Diamond faceted sapphire crystal that is virtually unbreakable protecting the face
* High grade, original Rolex mechanism originally adjusted to two positions for very precise timekeeping.
* Protected against shock and vibration in two places for greater durability
We were fortunate to acquire it pleasing all-original condition.
Its original 14K Rolex gold case presents beautifully on the wrist. It has one remnant of a small indention on the left side that doesn't significantly detract and a light indention in the case back. Otherwise, it presents in excellent condition with light signs of previous polishing.
Its silver dial is original and untouched, in better than near mint condition. It has lightly warmed giving it a true vintage look. Its bracelet presents as just short of mint. And its movement is very clean. It appears to have previously been serviced by a Rolex Service Center.
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, 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 strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Rolex in our testing recording position.
Accompanying it is a Rolex hang tag for a similar model ladies 14K dress watch, although we think that reference number is slightly different.
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.
