In the 1970's as Rolex was just transitioning its dress watches to be sold under the Cellini moniker, in the midst of their high output of utilitarian Oyster sports watches, Rolex also made much more elegant dress watches. These fine wristwatches often combine a superior handwound mechanism with beautiful aesthetics.

The classic Connoisseur of Time Certified Pre-Owned Rolex Precision showcased in today's offering is a prime example of this phenomenon. Its case eatures timeless vintage styling, its dial is striking, and it has a very fine handwound movement.

It measures 34mm without the crown - the same diameter as a mens Rolex Date model.

Powering the watch is its Rolex caliber 1225 handwound movement shock protected in two places.

It has all of its original Rolex parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. Our photos couldn't do it justice.

It case presents as mint with light natural aging almost entirely hidden inside the engine bay.

Despite what the photos seem to suggest, it still strongly retains its original lightly stamped serial number on the back. The markings appear essentially still as strong as when it left the factory. The underside of the lugs are all intact and scratch-free - the dark color in the photos are just reflections.

Its royal blue dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye. It has a slightly electric quality to it - the tone changes a bit as the light hits it at different angles.

As part of the restoration, its movement has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is very clean and running very strongly.

For the finishing touch, it has been equipped with a brand new leather strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle 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 full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
