DESCRIPTION.
This is a beautiful full size gents Rolex trench wristwatch. Not only does it have the rare type of case with swivel lugs but also this watch was retailed when new by "Alex Clark of London". This model of Rolex was sold to British military personnel during world war one and into the 1920s. Th...e condition of this Rolex for being around 99 years old is exceptional. With its stunning silver "guilloche" (engine turned) dial, with large exploding arabic numerals and fancy blue steel hands this Rolex has lots of style and charm. The dial has been restored to the highest possible standard and in keeping with the original design of the dial.  The wonderful Rolex caliber 13 ligne movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker in the past 6 months. Please note: watches of this age even when seriviced can gain or lose between up to 1 minute a day what is acceptable for a 99 year old watch. To complete this fantastic piece, we've put it on a new high quality strap.   

CASE. The solid silver, swivel lug case is in good condition with light age related wear. The case measures 33mm without the winding crown and a huge 46mm long including the lugs. 
Inside the case back all the marks are correct as expected: 
R.W.C Ltd (Rolex Watch Company), Rolex,  7 World Records, Gold Medal, Geneva Swiss and fully hallmarked solid silver.

 

   DIAL. The stunning original dial has been restored to the highest possible standard and in keeping with the original print and simply looks gorgeous. It has a silver "guilloche" (engine turned) dial, with large exploding arabic numerals and fancy blue steel hands. The dial is signed: Alex Clark London, Rolex, Swiss Made.  


MOVEMENT. The super caliber 13 linge manual wind movement is in very good condition. 
The movement is signed: Rolex, 15 Jewels, Swiss Made. 


STRAP. To finish this beautiful watch off, it comes on a new, leather strap. 

      

  
   

  THE BOX AND PAPERS. Like most vintage wristwatches what are over 70 years old, the original certificate and box has been lost or discarded over the years. But even though this watch does not have its original box or certificate, this watch, the reference numbers, markings, signatures and hallmarks are all correct, dating the watch to circa 1922. 
We provide a lifetime guarantee on the authenticity and provenance of all the watches we sell.
