ROLEX chronograph

1940’s Rolex Oyster Chronograph (SOLD)

Ref: TSW1015 Category:

A truly beautiful rare 1940’s Stainless steel and Gold Rolex Oyster chronograph movement and dial professionally re-cased. A truly wonderful looking one off example.

The 1940’s Rolex Oyster chronograph has been fully restored. The movement is the iconic Valjoux 23 with a Rolex signed Bridge, which has had a full service. The original Solid Gold hands stand out beautifully against the Black dial with Gold markers, especially in combination with the Solid Gold crown and Gold bezel, it looks simply stunning.

The Restored dial offers a lot of information, yet it remains very legible. This is quite an accomplishment given the relatively small diameter of the watch. The dial ref 3525 style chronograph has become increasingly more popular among collectors in recent years.

The vintage replacement case is from a 1950’s chronograph, which is in beautiful condition and measures 35mm with out the crown. The case is a beautiful mixture of 18k Gold and Stainless Steel. The strap is a beautiful tailor made Badalassi Wax tan Brown leather strap.

The craftsmanship on this timepiece is exquisite. Our watches are a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Tailored by skilled artisans who blend antique and modern techniques, each watch is a unique work of art- a little time machine that underlines your style. A real one off timepiece.

Comes complete with a movement authenticity card and Rolex box.

This watch is in stock and ready for worldwide shipping.
