Stunning 1950’s Solid 18ct Yellow Gold Rolex Precision 33mm Case Unisex Vintage Watch

The Overview

This is a beautiful example of the Rolex Precision dating from the 1950’s in solid 18ct gold. The solid 18ct yellow gold case is in excellent condition though we have filled a previous engraving on the rounded caseback. This would’ve originally been a man’s watch in the 50’s but the size is now very much unisex. I’d be happy to do a wrist video if required so you can gain a feeling of the size on a wrist. The original ivory/cream Rolex signed dial has been professionally refinished to highest possible standard and is stunning. The applied gold hour batons along with the original gold dauphine hands provide the softest contrast to the dial and are perfectly framed by the gleaming gold bezel (the second dial picture is without the lens to give a more accurate colour without reflections). The very high-grade Rolex signed manual wind movement is again in excellent condition and has just been fully serviced by our professional watchmaker. To complete this beautiful piece we’ve added a new, super high quality, dark brown Hirsch ‘London’ alligator strap with gold plated Hirsch buckle.

Very few Rolex Precisions in the 50’s were solid 18ct gold so not only is this a beautiful piece but also extremely rare.
