1950's Rolex Ladies Vintage Cocktail Watch - 18K White Gold & Diamonds

Rolex

Item No. 9153

Today's offering showcases this Rolex creation. It is fully Rolex. It is a special creation in the style of those made exclusively for Bucherer, the premier Swiss watch retailer and jeweler. As Hess and Dowling state in their authoritative work on Rolex, watches like this are, "in fact, the last hand made Rolex watches."

Bejeweled with ten diamonds including four larger ones, the 18K white Rolex gold case is absolutely stunning! Showcasing a beautiful geometric design, this cocktail watch added the perfect finishing touch to outfits worn to galas, award ceremonies, or other special gatherings.

The brilliant diamonds are white, near flawless, and full of fire as one would expect from original Rolex factory set diamonds.

It is fully Rolex down to the hands and original winding crown. Its case is in excellent condition. Its silver dial is clean, restored in vintage times. And its high-grade original handwound Rolex movement adjusted to two positions is keeping very accurate time.

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, installing a new correct mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (an $895 value).

We have tested it extensively including testing it on a machine that spins it in all directions simulating it being worn. It continues to keep very accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have carefully detailed it and installed a new black cord bracelet, designed to replicate the style of the original making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Accompanying the watch is a very cool new-old-stock Rolex for Bucherer spoon.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

If you are looking for a true treasure for that special someone in your life, this is it. Modern Rolexes don't match the charm and romance of this vintage original.
