A truly exceptional early Rolex creation, this Rolex Precision from 1947 is a masterpiece of post-war Swiss watchmaking — refined, elegant, and remarkably preserved. Crafted in solid 18-karat yellow gold, the watch measures 35.2 mm with crown in diameter and presents a harmonious balance between sophistication and vintage character.

The dial is immaculate, featuring an extraordinarily rare and unusual configuration: alternating Arabic numerals and hour indexes. At 12 you find a numeral, at 1 an index, at 2 again a numeral, and so forth — a captivating and highly distinctive design seldom seen on Rolex models of the period. This aesthetic detail gives the watch a unique rhythm and depth, making it both collectible and visually fascinating.

Completing this refined composition are the light “cornes de vache” lugs — gracefully curved and beautifully sculpted, rather than straight. This rare case design, more commonly associated with high horology chronographs, enhances the watch’s character and demonstrates Rolex’s exquisite craftsmanship in its early years.

Powered by a manual winding movement with a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, the watch remains in excellent, original condition, accompanied by Rolex box and booklets.

The Rolex Precision line marks a significant chapter in the brand’s history: these were among the first wristwatches that established Rolex’s reputation for accuracy and fine design before the widespread adoption of the chronometer certification.
