For many watch connoisseurs, the Rolex featured in today's offering 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.
Today's offering showcases this stunning Lady Super President previously customized with 270 diamonds. The diamond bezel is white and fully of fire. It is aftermarket and very nice with a brilliance similar to a Rolex factory done bezel. The aftermarket diamond-set bracelet which has 220 diamonds is also very well done. It is just short of mint with no stretch.
The Rolex dial has been previously upgraded with mother of pearl and diamonds, and the crystal has previously been upgraded to sapphire.
The customization on this Rolex is very well done and the watch presents in beautiful condition. Our photos just don't do it justice.
Our Master Watchmaker has just fully serviced it. The servicing consisted of disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with Rolex parts, reassembling and lubricating the movement, replacing all of the waterproofing seals with new Rolex gaskets, and timing testing and regulation (a $695 value).
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function.
