The appeal of this watch up for auction lies precisely in its representation of a different facet of Rolex’s history: unlike the later Datejust, Submariner, or GMT-Master models, the Precision watches retain the elegant and understated character of the brand’s postwar dress watches. Furthermore, examples that retain their original dial, crown, and movement are particularly sought after among collectors of vintage Rolex watches. When the description of a watch states “it works,” it means the watch is functioning. Since collector’s watches typically have delicate and complex mechanisms, the buyer is responsible for any general servicing, inspection, battery replacement, adjustment, or repair that may be necessary. We do not guarantee the perfect functioning of any watch. All photographs of our watches are original and have been taken by our photographers; in other words, we do not use stock photography, which is why the photographs are considered part of the listing.
