Vintage Rolex Precision Ref. 2190 in 18ct Gold – Circa 1960s

An exceptionally elegant vintage Rolex Precision, crafted in solid 18ct yellow gold and finished with a beautifully textured gold bracelet that gives this petite timepiece the character of both a fine watch and a piece of vintage jewellery.

Dating to circa the 1960s, this ladies’ Rolex features a wonderfully proportioned rectangular case measuring approximately 20mm x 14mm. The silver dial is classically understated, signed Rolex Precision and complemented by applied gold baton hour markers and matching gold hands.

The real beauty of this piece lies in its proportions. Small vintage watches have enjoyed a renewed appreciation in recent years, and this Rolex captures the look perfectly – discreet, refined and designed to sit almost like a gold bracelet on the wrist.

Its slender textured bracelet continues seamlessly from the case, creating an elegant integrated appearance and a distinctly mid-century aesthetic. Crafted in 18ct yellow gold and finished with a secure clasp, the watch has a total weight of approximately 20 grams.

Inside is a Rolex-signed 17-jewel manual-wind mechanical movement, while the inside case back carries Montres Rolex S.A., Genève, Switzerland, together with 18K / 0.750 gold markings and reference 2190.

Presented in lovely vintage condition, this is a particularly charming example of a solid gold ladies’ Rolex Precision and a wonderful alternative to the larger Oyster watches for which Rolex is best known today.

With its petite proportions, warm 18ct gold construction and elegant jewellery-style bracelet, it is a beautiful piece of vintage Rolex design that feels remarkably relevant again today.
