In the 1930's through the 50's, in the midst of their high output of utilitarian sports watches, Rolex also made much more elegant dress watches. These fine wristwatches often combine a superior hand-wound mechanism with beautiful aesthetics.

The elegant and uncommon dress Rolex showcased in today's offering is a classic and wonderfully styled example of this phenomenon. It features very fine and dramatic Art Deco styling and a well-executed handwound movement.

By today's standards it is a small midsize, but its large dial and lugs give a slightly larger presence on the wrist than its dimensions suggest.

It is fully Rolex and presents in pleasing restored condition. Its case is in excellent condition, and its dial is a clean vintage restoration.

One of our watchmakers has just fully disassembled the movement down to its last screw and freshly cleaned and oiled it.

It comes on a genuine Rolex alligator strap with what appears to be a restored 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.

Don't miss the opportunity to own the perfect compliment to your sporty Datejust, Sub, GMT, or Daytona.
