- Automatic 21 jewel movement

-Fitted with Rolex 6634 stretch bracelet, clasp date ‘1. 66’ & no. 70 endlinks

This is a beautiful little 22mm, small rose, oyster cased ladies watch, fitted with a not-often-seen, stretch rivet bracelet. Classic in its design, it manages to look purposeful, and at the same time, very sophisticated. This particular piece has a ‘T SWISS T’ silver, ‘3,6,9’ explorer dial, with silver markers and sword hands, with tritium lume.

Condition:-

This particular piece is in all original, used condition. The case is in good shape, with the lugs remaining thick, and the reference number & serial visible. The dial is showing its age, with some small marks visible under a loupe, but remains very pretty. The original lume is in great condition on both the dial, and the handset, both having aged to a deep cream colour. The plexiglass is original, and although sound, has a small internal fissure, just to the right of the 6 o’clock marker, which I have decided to leave. The oversized crown is the Rolex original twinlock item and the screw-in caseback is also original Rolex.

The original Rolex stretch bracelet is also showing its age, but remains perfectly serviceable, without too much stretch, and with most of the links retaining a strong spring action. The Rolex clasp shuts reassuringly.

Movement:-

There is no service history with this watch, although there is evidence of work done in the past, in the form of service markings inside the original caseback. The movement however, is healthy and keeping good, vintage time, with the crown screwing in and functioning as it should do.

I guarantee the authenticity and the working order of this piece at the time of sale, but due to its age, offer no extended warranty. And although this is a sports watch, please don’t expect it to be waterproof.
