Today's offering showcases this beautiful Connoisseur of Time Certified Pre-Owned Lady President with sapphire crystal, quick-setting date, Rolex Presidential bracelet, and what appears to be factory original Rolex diamond dial.

(Rolex diamond dials are not marked - it was examined carefully under our microscope and we believe to be Rolex factory done. Please inquire if you would like a digital photo from our microscope). A diamond dial is currently a $2000 upgrade on a new President.

For many watch connoisseurs, the special Rolex featured here needs no introduction... Nicknamed "The President" after Rolex gave an example of the gent's model to Dwight Eisenhower, it remains the company's flagship model and is the most recognizable elite, luxury watch in the world.

Examples can be found adorning prominent wrists around Hollywood (Jennifer Garner wears an 18K yellow gold ladies President and Angelina Jolie, Gwenneth Paltrow, and Halle Berry all wear ladies Rolexes, to name just a few) and in boardrooms and offices around the world. To own a President is to claim a true distinction.

It has previously been fitted with a large high quality aftermarket channel set diamond bezel that is very striking. The diamonds are eye-clean and white.

With the exception of the large channel set bezel, which was previously added, the watch is fully Rolex.

Its case presents as just short of mint with only light signs of previous polishing. Its original dial presents as mint. And its original Rolex Presidential bracelet shows moderate stretch - its finish presents as just short of mint.

It presents beautifully on the wrist.

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 brand new Rolex mainspring, installing a brand new genuine Rolex crystal, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $995 value).

It continues to run exceptionally strong and true, like a new Rolex emerging fresh from the factory in our timing recording position.

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.

Retail price for a new ladies President with factory diamond dial: $29,100.00 USD + tax
