Rolex Precision 9K 33mm 1962 – Sorry now sold Sept 2015

Description

Here we have a wonderful example of the classic, gold Rolex Precision dress watch from 1962. The larger sized case and simple 12 batons over a white face make this clean and simple dial typical of the 1960s ‘modern’ Rolex design.

The Dial

This is the original dial which has been restored to the very highest standards by our dial restorers who are considered one of the best in the UK.

The Movement

The watch carries its original high grade Rolex Calibre.1215 Precision movement which as can be seen, is in sparkling clean condition! This movement has been disassembled, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt using original Rolex parts where required by our vintage Rolex specialist watchmaker. When final tested on 7th August, this watch was calibrated and running to within 10 seconds per day, which is exceptional for a watch of this age. The movement is all correctly signed ‘MONTRES ROLEX SA GENEVA’, ‘SWISS’, and ‘SEVENTEEN 17 JEWELS’ and the Calibre number 1215. These movements are strong, accurate and very reliable making this watch perfectly suited for regular everyday use. This particular movement is in A1 condition and with regular servicing every 3 to 4 years, we would fully expect this watch to run happily for many more decades to come! We are pleased to offer a 12 months warranty on this watch movement*.

*Please note our 12 months warranty is only applicable if the list price is paid.

The Case

The three piece case and bezel are all in exceptional condition with no marks or scratches visible to the naked eye. This watch case has been very well cared for and therefore the case has simply required a careful clean and gentle polish to bring it back to its current ‘like new’ condition. The outside of the case-back is unmarked and polished and has never been engraved. The case measures 33mm in diameter, not including the original crown and so this is a larger sized Rolex Precision. Inside the case-back, the markings are all correct for a Rolex case made by one of their two U.K. case-makers Dennison along with reference number 202605. The case-back also carries Birmingham 9ct hallmarks which date this watch to 1962.

The Strap and Buckle

The watch is fitted is a new high quality tan leather strap and gold plated Rolex buckle.  Please note if a different colour or style of strap is preferred, please let us know and we will do our best to oblige free of charge.

The Box and Papers

Although there are no original papers with this atch, all the numbers and markings on the watch are correct, dating the watch to 1960. A detailed written receipt, with a 12 month warranty* and a separate insurance valuation for the replacement value will be provided at the time of sale. A matching Rolex presentation box will be included in the sale.

In Conclusion

This is a truly first class example of a 1960s vintage Rolex Precision which is ready to wear and completely practical for every day use. If treated with care, it will make an excellent investment or heirloom piece and though vintage gold Rolex prices have risen markedly recently, we feel good examples such as this are still undervalued. As each year goes by and the world market for vintage gold Rolex watches continues to expand, prices will climb ever higher.

This is a highly collectible vintage gold watch from horology’s most famous name which will provide an excellent financial investment as well as something to treasure and enjoy!
