Today's offering showcases this beautiful solid gold example of one of Rolex's extremely fine ladies dress pieces made for the U.S. market. It showcases a distinctive eight-sided solid gold case, scale textured bracelet, and matching champagne dial. It not only looks luxurious, it feels it!

Here are a few of its features:

• Distinctive and uncommon eight sided case specially made for Rolex by Italian jewelers
• Beautiful original Rolex bracelet with original hand-hammered finish also specially made for Rolex by Italian jewelers
• Complementary original champagne textured dial with easy to read black topped hands and indexes
• High grade, original Rolex mechanism protected against shock in two places for greater durability

It is fully Rolex down to the dial and hands and and in pleasing condition.

Its 14K gold case is near mint. Its high-grade, Rolex movement is very clean.

And its original dial is in very good condition with fairly light aging. The aging shows up in our magnified photos much more so than it does when the watch is on the wrist. Please inquire if you would like a photo of it on the wrist or if you would like a it to be expertly restored.

Our watchmaker has just fully disassembled the watch down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled its high-grade movement. We have also just installed a new correct mineral glass crystal.

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 attesting to its performance.
