This is a beautiful Rolex ladies' watch, dating from the 1950s and in good all-original condition, including original strap/clasp.

You can feel confident buying from me - I offer a full refund if you are not entirely happy, as long as the watch is returned within seven days if UK customer, fourteen days if overseas, in the same condition. I also provide a full receipt, six months guarantee (long enough for you to assess the working order) and a professional insurance valuation. I also welcome you to come and view the watch at our central London address, in the New Bond Street area. I offer my customers online prices - well below value - with offline availability and service.

The solid 18ct pink gold case is in excellent, gleaming condition, with no significant wear and measures 16.5mm, excluding the original winding crown x 29mm long, including the gold lugs. The back opens on a hinge and the inside back is signed 'Rolex', ' Geneve Suisse', '31 victoires de haute precision', the '4294' case reference number and carries the appropriate Swiss hallmarks for solid 18ct gold. The outside back of the case carries the Rolex emblem and '346727'.

The original salmon dial is in good condition for its age, with minor wear. It is signed 'Rolex' and 'Swiss Made'. The original hands are in good unbent condition, and the lens is very clear.

The original hand-wound 17 jewel Rolex movement is in very good, bright condition and is signed 'Rolex', 'Rubies 17' and 'Fab Suisse Swiss' and 'Patented Superbalance'. The movement has just been cleaned and oiled by a professional watchmaker and is in very good working order for its age.

This lovely watch is on its original cord strap strap, which is in excellent condition. The strap comes complete with the original Rolex pink gold plated strap fittings and clasp - very rare to find this type of watch from this era with the original strap fittings. The clasp is signed 'Rolex SA' and 'Plaquel'. Please note that the watch and strap measures a small 143mm end to end. It can be lengthened by finding a similar piece of cord, cutting to size and feeding through the watch and into the clasps. The watch comes complete with a new, quality presentation case, for safekeeping and for easy wrapping as a gift to truly remember.

A superb collection-standard vintage watch from one history's most famous names; full of charm and elegance. Will provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to enjoy.
