Centuries of craftsmanship can be found in this beautiful 18K gold dress watch by Rolex. The exquisite detail of the hand-wrought case complements the classic vintage-styled dial and master-crafted movement.

This ladies Rolex is the perfect accent for the most precious of times. Unlike similar Rolex watches encased in 14K made for the U.S. market, this is a true Swiss Rolex creation.

Here are a few of its features:

• Elegant and luxurious 18K gold case
• Classic silver honeycomb dial with white gold markers
• High grade Rolex mechanism with Super Balance system for greater accuracy

It is fully original down to the dial and hands and likely the winding crown; the Rolex markings on the back show clearly and the serial number remains visible (they are lightly stamped and often no longer show up after the case is polished). Its dial is original and untouched.

Accompanying it is a rare and desirable Rolex clam shell box and tag.

The movement has just been freshly cleaned, oiled, and timed on a state-of-the-art computerized timing system. A new mineral crystal has just been installed.

We chose to leave on its charming original/period expansion bracelet. Please inquire if you would like a different bracelet or a black cord band.

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