In the 1940's and 50's, in the midst of their high output of utilitarian sports watches, Rolex also made much more elegant dress watches. These fine wristwatches often combine a superior hand-wound mechanism with beautiful aesthetics.

The elegant and uncommon dress Rolex showcased in today's offering is a prime example of this phenomenon. It features very fine styling and dramatic styling and a well-executed handwound movement.

It is a usual size for the style - 33mm without the crown by 40mm - but its large dial and claw lugs give a larger presence on the wrist than its dimensions suggest.

It is fully Rolex down to the original crown and in pleasing restored condition. Its case is in excellent condition, and its dial is a clean vintage restoration.

One of our watchmakers has just fully disassembled the movement down to its last screw and freshly cleaned and oiled it. For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

An identical watch happens to be worn by Harry Styles of One Direction who was recently voted as one of the most stylish / best dressed men in the world for 2018 by Esquire: http://staging.dujour.com/style/harry-styles-vintage-rolex-watch/

Don't miss the opportunity to own the perfect complement to your sporty Datejust, Sub, GMT, or Daytona.
