This elegant Rolex Precision dress watch, dating from circa 1962, embodies the refined simplicity that defined mid-century Rolex dress watch design. Crafted from 9k yellow gold, this timepiece features a Dennison case, a hallmark of Rolex’s long-standing partnership with the renowned British case maker. Known for their exceptional craftsmanship, Dennison cases are beloved among collectors for their robust quality and elegant designs.
At 34mm in diameter, the case has an understated presence, perfect for those who appreciate the discreet luxury of a classic dress watch. The clean, minimalistic dial showcases slender applied gold indices that shimmer gently as they catch the light, complemented by slim, gold dauphine hands that maintain a sleek, balanced look. The simple "Rolex" logo at 12 o'clock and "Precision" marking and absence of a date window enhances the watch's elegant, uncluttered aesthetic.
Powered by the hand-wound Rolex calibre 1210 movement, this watch offers the tactile experience of winding a mechanical movement—a practice that connects the wearer to the craftsmanship and engineering hidden inside.
The Dennison case, crafted in 9k gold, is beautifully preserved, with strong lugs and a smooth polished finish. Its solid case back provides a sturdy, well-protected housing for the movement inside, further showcasing Dennison’s reputation for making durable yet elegant cases. This particular watch is fitted with a new leather strap, giving it a fresh yet vintage-appropriate look, while the classic lines of the watch make it ideal for both daily wear and formal occasions.
