Description from the seller
An exceptional and historic Art Deco timepiece, this rare 1920s Rolex features a solid 18k yellow gold cushion-shaped case with a hinged Officer/Hunter-style back. Inside, the caseback is fully hallmarked and stamped with the iconic R.W.C. LTD (Rolex Watch Company Ltd) stamp, alongside original watchmaker service inscriptions.
The watch showcases a striking silver guilloché sunburst dial, finished with crisp black Arabic numerals, an outer railroad minute track, and vintage blued-steel cathedral hands. Powered by a high-grade 15-jewel manual-wind movement, it is engraved "Rolex Patent" and "Timed 6 Positions / For All Climates"—a rare chronometer-adjusted specification reserved for top-tier Rolex models of this era.
