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.
