Today's offering showcases this classic and elegant Connoisseur of Time Certified Pre-Owned ladies Rolex dress watch made for the Commonwealth market.

Although its movement is one Rolex often used for export, and these movements were usually encased in a locally made case by a contractor, somewhat unusually, this one has an original Rolex made case, albeit crafted out of 9K gold.

Here are some of its features:

Charming and petite original ref. 9179 gold Rolex case tastefully decocrated with wonderful claw lugs
Elegant light silver Rolex dial
High grade, original Rolex mechanism capable of precise timekeeping
Protected against shock and vibration for greater durability

Its case presents in very good condition with two small indentions - one pinprick hidden away on the back and one on the bottom left corner. It has previously been polished and is scratch-free and still retains a strong hallmark.

Its dial is bright and clean, restored in vintage times. Please inquire if you would like it freshly restored.

And its original handwound Rolex movement is running strong and true.

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 correct new mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value).

For the finishing touch, we have carefully detailed and it comes on a genuine crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

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.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts.
