Rolex Oyster Speed King - Model Ref: 5056 - Manual Wind - Silver Sunburst Dial - c.1948 - With Box
What’s On Offer
It may be small, but it's mighty! Mighty charming that is, in every sense, from its 30mm dimensions to its bewitching silver sunburst dial which has a very subtle sprinkling of pleasing patina, it's barely visible to the naked eye but adds to the charisma this watch enjoys. Beautiful yellow gold Dauphine hands glide over the applied baton indices and crown at 12, a needle central seconds hand completes a simple yet sophisticated dial. This watch has been very well taken care of through the years, you really would not think it was a 1940s watch given its remarkable condition, this is likely due to the fact it has been in one of our watchmaker's personal collection of watches for many years!
This is a really charming watch, timelessly designed for the more slender wrist. Effortless chic for any occasion, vintage Rolex at its best. Running like a dream as one would expect, coming from a watchmaker it has been serviced on a regular basis by him.
