Vintage Rolex Precision Mechanical 9ct Gold Ladies Cocktail Watch

A 1960s ladies Rolex Precision cocktail watch in 9ct solid gold, with matching integral 9ct gold bracelet and a small round silvered dial with applied gilt baton indices, gilt hands and the Rolex coronet at twelve. The dial is signed Rolex Precision Swiss. The case and bracelet are both British hallmarked and stamped B&S for Shackman & Sons, the London case maker officially approved by Rolex to case its Swiss movements in UK gold during this period. The bracelet clasp is signed Rolex and bears the Rolex coronet on its outer face.

Powered by the Rolex calibre 1400, a high-grade Swiss hand-wound mechanical movement with 18 jewels and a 44-hour power reserve. This is the same calibre family Rolex used across its ladies Precision line from the 1950s to the early 1980s, and it is running perfectly and keeping good mechanical time. Service history unknown.

No original box or papers.
