I have no hesitation in recommending.
From start to finish the service I have received has been excellent. Kirsty has kept me informed all the way and the level of the finished repair to a very old and worn vintage watch was exemplary.

The Dial

1950s Rolex classic charm, this watch has a beautiful off white dial with raised gold Rolex Crown, and Dauphine hands and arrow-head hour markers. Along with the gold Rolex crown, the dial is signed ROLEX and Perpetual and Swiss Made. This is the original dial which has been ‘refinished’ to the highest standards possible.

This is the original and exceedingly rare Rolex Perpetual Dress Watch case

The 18ct solid rose gold case is in super-fine condition with no marks dings or scratches visible to the naked eye. It measures 34mm in diameter not including the Rolex crown. The case carries external, French 18ct hallmarks and case reference 10375. The case has been professionally cleaned and very lightly polished and is looking absolutely superb.

In Summary – In this exceedingly good condition, serviced and ready to wear, this vintage Rolex is rare and great value at this price.

At this price we consider this watch to be exceedingly good value, considering a new equivalent gold Rolex dress watch would retail at around £15,000 today. Further, a 1950s 18K gold Rolex in this condition, would be on sale for £8,000 to £12,000 in a Bond Street store or in the Burlington Arcade in Central London.

From an investment point of view, there little doubt which is the better buy.

This c1950 Rolex would also make a wonderful special anniversary or birthday gift, and an excellent investment or heirloom piece.

Please note it is difficult to capture the full beauty of a vintage watch even in a good series of photographs. Needless to say, it is a much more rewarding experience to have and hold the watch and of course, to wear it with pride.

So this is a highly desirable vintage watch from horology’s most famous name and will prove an excellent investment as well as something to treasure and enjoy!

And even though prices continue to climb, we still feel that vintage gold Rolex watches from this period are significantly undervalued. And as each year goes by the world market for vintage gold Rolex is growing exponentially. And so this means prices are highly likely to remain on their steep climb trajectory.

We are happy to accept Paypal as this is the quickest method of payment. And we also welcome payment by bank transfer or cheque in which case we will apply a 3% reduction on the purchase price.
