As precise as it is classic, this watch is powered by Rolex's Caliber 1030 "butterfly rotor" movement. One of of Rolex's fine mid-century officially certified chronometer mechanisms, it offers a level of engineering and craftsmanship that was superior for the period.
It is fully Rolex down to all of its original hands and winding crown.
Our watchmaker has disassembled the watch down to its last screw and serviced it including installed a new genuine new-old-stock Rolex reversing gear, which often goes bad in these watches.
Its chronometer movement now winds smoothly and keeps excellent time, running within a few seconds per day. For the finishing touch we equipped it with a new crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Note: A published example of a similar watch can be found in Osvaldo Patrizzi's work Rolex, Collecting Wristwatches, 2001 Edition, Guido Mondani editor, Vol. 2, pg. 10.
