Rolex Precision ‘Coin Edge’ gold vintage wristwatch, hallmarked 1956

A 9ct yellow gold manually wound wristwatch with ‘coin-edged’ case sides green Rolex presentation case and Rolex pin buckle

This is a very attractive Rolex wristwatch which is hallmarked for the year 1956. The watch has a yellow gold case, the sides and lugs of which are milled in a ‘coin-edge’ style, a design seldom seen on vintage Rolex watches. The dial is in attractive condition with a gentle, warm patina to the surface and the gold coloured, leaf-shaped hands, contrast with the blued steel of the centre seconds.

Accompanying the watch is a Rolex presentation case (green leather covering rather worn) and a Rolex service receipt from 1992. The watch is fitted with a crocodile leather strap with a Rolex, gilt-metal, pin buckle.

This model was available with a variety of different dial designs. Below is an extract from a 1954 Rolex catalogue which shows the same model as the present watch but with Arabic and dagger indexes. Interestingly, the retail price for this model in 1954 was £54 – this was £5 more expensive than the newly released Rolex Explorer which was listed in the same catalogue at £49.
