Description

Recently serviced in our workshop, this vintage Rolex Precision 12868 in 9ct yellow gold is working exceptionally well – and we guarantee that. Complete with a new strap and the original Rolex yellow gold buckle, it displays some natural wear throughout, as expected from a watch of this age, but remains a beautiful and classic vintage Rolex.

The manual-wind movement has been serviced to run within just a few seconds plus per day, offering excellent performance. The 9ct gold 32mm case features elegant, prominent lugs and a solid case back engraved with a presentation for 35 years’ service (dated 1964).

The original dial is a cream/off-white to silver tone, fitted with gold dauphin hands and pointed hour markers. A subsidiary seconds dial sits at 6 o’clock. There is a visible mark between the 4 and 5 o’clock markers, which does not affect performance – we have chosen to leave the dial in its authentic, original condition.

The Rolex Precision line was produced primarily from the mid-20th century, characterised by manual-wind mechanical movements rather than automatic mechanisms.

These watches frequently feature 9-carat or 18-carat yellow, rose, or white gold cases paired with leather straps and acrylic crystals.

Authenticity is verified by checking the case hallmarks, matching serial and reference numbers between the lugs, and inspecting the signed manual-wind movement inside.

A classic dress watch pairs seamlessly with tailored formal wear or elevated smart-casual attire, serving as a subtle statement of understated horological heritage.

Mechanical watches require periodic professional servicing every three to five years to clean the movement, ensure lubrication, and maintain water resistance where applicable.
