Today's offering showcases this rare and exquisite Rolex creation. It is original and in excellent condition.

It is a special creation and given its style it likely was made for Bucherer - according to Bucherer advertisement from the period, watches similar to this were made exclusively for the Swiss retailer. 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 28 diamonds it's 18K white Rolex gold case is absolutely stunning!

Showcasing a beautiful open geometric stirrup motif with two larger brilliants at the centers, this cocktail watch as it is called, 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.

We were fortunate to acquire this important Rolex in pleasing original condition, down to the untouched dial and hands. It has a sleek original correctly stamped snake mesh bracelet.

Its case is in excellent condition. Its original honeycomb dial is untouched, in pleasing condition with light toning.

One of our Master Watchmakers who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given 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 correct new mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing, testing and regulation (a $795 value).

Its original handwound Rolex caliber 100 movement is very clean. We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it and installed a brand new black cord bracelet to replicate the style of the original 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 and a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

Accompanying the watch is a Rolex - Bucherer spoon from the era that showcased the companies' partnership.

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