Vintage Rolex Precision 9ct Yellow Gold Ladies Cocktail Watch | 1957 | Fully Serviced

A wonderfully elegant example of mid-century Rolex craftsmanship, this beautiful ladies’ Precision cocktail watch dates to 1957 and is crafted in luxurious 9ct yellow gold.

With its delicate proportions and beautifully intricate bracelet, this charming timepiece captures the glamour of 1950s jewellery design, when fine Swiss watchmaking and precious metals came together in wonderfully feminine creations.

The petite circular case frames a softly aged silvered dial, adorned with applied Arabic numerals and elegant blued steel hands. The dial has developed a lovely natural patina over the decades, lending the watch a wonderful sense of history and character that simply cannot be replicated.

What makes this particular example especially beautiful is its intricate integral 9ct gold bracelet. Formed from a series of sculptural, interlocking links, the design has an almost jewellery-like quality, with softly polished gold details that catch the light beautifully.

The decorative shoulders flow elegantly into the bracelet, creating a wonderfully cohesive design that sits delicately against the wrist. Its unusual link construction adds a lovely touch of individuality, making this a particularly distinctive example of vintage Rolex ladies’ watchmaking.

Inside sits Rolex’s calibre 1300 manual-winding movement, a lovely example of the traditional Swiss mechanical craftsmanship for which the brand has been celebrated for generations.

The watch bears Chester hallmarks dating to 1957, offering a wonderful connection to its history and confirming its place in the golden age of mid-century design.

Fully serviced by our independent horologist, this elegant little Rolex is running beautifully and ready to be enjoyed once again.

A truly charming vintage timepiece, combining beautiful gold craftsmanship, delicate proportions and the enduring appeal of Rolex.

More than simply a watch, this is a wonderful little piece of wearable history.
