Rolex – Precision – Solid 18K Gold – Ladies – 1930s

A refined and highly collectible vintage ladies’ timepiece from the golden era of Swiss watchmaking, this Rolex Precision from the 1930s embodies understated elegance and timeless craftsmanship. Created in an era when wristwatches were still a statement of modernity, this piece reflects the delicate proportions and artisanal finishing that defined early Rolex production.

The 19 mm case is crafted in solid 18K yellow gold (hallmarked 18K / 0.750 inside the case back), with a total gold weight of approximately 5 grams. The interior case back is beautifully stamped with the Rolex crown, “Geneve Suisse,” and reference numbers, confirming its authenticity and heritage. The slim, elegant lugs and finely fluted crown complement the refined proportions of this early ladies’ model.

The silver dial features a charming and honest age patina, giving the watch a distinctive vintage character. Applied gold Arabic numerals at 12, 2, 4, 8 and 10, combined with gold baton markers and elegant gold hands, create a harmonious and balanced layout. The small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock adds classical sophistication. The dial is graded C due to visible patina and signs of age, which contribute to its authentic vintage appeal.

Inside beats a Swiss mechanical Rolex movement, signed “Rolex Geneve – Seventeen Jewels – Adjusted 2 Positions.” The movement is currently running but requires service, as it shows a significant deviation in timekeeping. This has been reflected in the description for full transparency.
