For decades, Rolex watches have been the benchmark for high-grade timepieces, setting the bar through their precision timekeeping, durability, and prestige.

Today's offering proudly showcases this classic original Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ladydate model encased in steel with its original Rolex bracelet.

Examples can be found adorning prominent wrists around Hollywood - Jennifer Garner, Angelina Jolie, Gwenneth Paltrow, and Halle Berry all wear ladies Rolexes.

We were fortunate to acquire it such beautiful condition - it fully Rolex down to the dial, all hands, winding crown, and original Rolex Oyster bracelet correctly date stamped 1961.

Our watchmaker has disassembled the entire watch down to the last screw, replaced the reverser gears which often go bad over time in these with genuine Rolex replacements, freshly serviced it, and replaced the gaskets with new genuine Rolex seals.

Its Rolex chronometer grade movement is clean and keeping time. It has just been meticulously detailed 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.
