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 Certified Pre-Owned Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ladydate model encased in steel with original solid 18K white gold bezel. We have long loved early vintage Lady Dates and Datejusts for the timeless class.

Lady Rolex watches can be found around Hollywood perched on the wrists of prominent female celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner, Gwenneth Paltrow, and Halle Berry to name just a few... Luxurious and very beautiful, it is worthy of a home adorning a deserving woman.

It has 100% original parts down to the original hands, crown, and correctly date stamped bracelet. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition.

It case presents as mint with slight signs of previous polishing and its bezel retains nice not overly polished facets. Its original dial has been meticulously restored - its printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye.

A Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value). It winds very smoothly.

It continues to keep time like a new Rolex in our testing position.

For the finishing touch we have just 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.
