Elegance often comes in small packages, and this mid-century ladies’ Rolex is a fitting example. Crafted in solid yellow gold, it features gracefully arched lugs and a petite, sculpted case that cradles a beautiful light silver dial. Applied gold numbers mark the time framing its iconic Rolex coronet. The look is timeless and feminine..

While many collectors focus on Rolex’s larger sport models, the maison’s ladies’ watches from the 1950s and 60s offer a secret world of beauty and value. Their handcrafted gold cases, reliable hand-wound movements, and jewellery-like proportions make them highly wearable. Yet they remain surprisingly affordable—meaning you can acquire a solid gold Rolex at a fraction of the cost of a more famous reference.

This charming ladies gold dress Rolex was made for the Canadian market. With the one exception of the winding crown, it has all of its original Rolex parts.

Its case presents in excellent condition with only light wear. Its dial is bright and clean, restored in vintage times.

One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. It is running strong and true, keeping time nearly on par with a new Rolex in our testing position.

For the finishing touch, it comes equipped with a black cord band 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 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. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
