The centerpiece of the watch is its beautiful original decorated porcelain dial in excellent condition. Unlike most similar Rolex watches from the era which normally have unsigned dials, this more desirable example is signed Rolex.
It has black Arabic numerals and a wonderful gold outer track with small diamond shaped markers. Powering this gem is a fine, early Rolex "Rebberg" timekeeping mechanism housed in its original 9K gold Rolex case.
As one of the world's first wristwatches, the wonderful transitional watches showcase their pocket watch heritage with their enamel dials and spade hands.
One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
These watches are known for not operating well because of their age, but this one is now an exception to that.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. 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.
