Rolex Precision Reference 12857
A beautiful and increasingly sought-after 1955 Rolex Precision wristwatch, Reference 12857, presented in an elegant 9ct gold case manufactured by the renowned Dennison Watch Case Company for Rolex. The case bears a Birmingham hallmark for 1955 and is marked Dennison for Rolex, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship associated with British-cased Rolex watches of the period.
The attractive cream dial features a distinctive linen finish, elegant dauphine hands, gilt Arabic numerals, and a centre seconds display, offering a refined texture and depth that beautifully complements the warm tones of the gold case. The faceted dauphine hands catch the light superbly, while the gilt numerals provide excellent contrast and lend the watch a warm, sophisticated character. With its clean design, balanced proportions, and understated elegance, this watch perfectly captures the timeless appeal of post-war Rolex styling.
At its heart is a high-quality Rolex Calibre 700 manual-winding movement, fitted with 15 jewels and signed Rolex. Renowned for its reliability and precision, this shock-resistant Swiss calibre was widely used in Rolex Precision models during the 1950s and exemplifies the brand's commitment to robust and dependable timekeeping. The case and movement are both individually numbered, further enhancing the watch's authenticity and collectability.
The watch is fitted with a black lizard strap and an aftermarket Rolex-style buckle, completing its sophisticated vintage appearance and making it equally suitable for formal occasions or everyday wear.
Each of our watches is carefully cleaned and serviced by an experienced watchmaker to ensure reliable performance while preserving its original character. For added peace of mind, this watch is supplied complete with a 12-month mechanical warranty and a new presentation box.
