ONE OF A KIND !!!
A Unique Expression of Rolex Elegance – Circa 1960
An extraordinary vintage Rolex ladies’ concealed wristwatch, created circa 1960 as an exceptional marriage of fine Swiss watchmaking and high jewellery.
Crafted in sumptuous 14K yellow gold, the piece takes the form of an elaborate, richly textured woven bracelet weighing an impressive 46.30 grams. At first glance, it appears to be an elegant gold jewel; discreetly hidden beneath the bracelet is a Rolex timepiece, revealing itself only when the concealed cover is opened.
Its exceptional craftsmanship, jewellery-like construction and unmistakably aristocratic character make it clear that this bespoke creation was specially commissioned for a queen, princess or other member of royalty
The bracelet is further distinguished by two graceful, sweeping accents set with diamonds, creating a sophisticated contrast against the warmth of the yellow gold. The sculptural texture, concealed watch construction and jewellery-inspired design reflect the glamour and refinement of the 1960s, an era when exceptional watches were often created as personal objets d’art rather than simply instruments for telling time.
The Rolex dial retains a beautifully understated appearance, allowing the extraordinary goldsmithing of the bracelet to remain the centrepiece of the design.
A Truly Exceptional Special-Order Piece
This remarkable watch is a unique special-order creation and a true one-of-one Rolex, made as the only example in the world in this exceptional configuration. Its unusual construction, concealed mechanism and highly individual bracelet design make it a singular piece of Rolex history.
More than a vintage Rolex, this is a collector’s jewel: part watch, part bracelet and part work of wearable art.
