Today's offering showcases this stunning ladies Rolex Orchid dress watch in 18K white gold with diamonds. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration.

Both a tasteful fashion statement and a precision wristwatch, it features a very petite and understated 18K white gold case aftermarket set with twelve brilliant diamonds in the lugs, classic silver dial with 18K white gold Rolex coronet, and well-executed mechanism.

The sparkling diamonds are eye clean and white.

With the exception of the jeweler added diamonds, it has all of its original Rolex parts. As mentioned, it has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents beautifully.

Its case is fully scratch-free. It shows signs of previous polishing - the lightly stamped number on the coronet on the back are still present, but difficult to discern.

Its dial has been expertly restored - the printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye. Its fine handwound movement is very clean.

As part of the restoration, it has just been freshly overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is running very strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Rolex in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new dark red leather strap and what may be original or may be an aftermarket Rolex buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international 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.

A more than half-century old Rolex that looks like new!
