Description

A gents 1930s Rolco wrist watch.

Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex, also created many other brand names including Rolco, Unicorn, Marconi and Tudor. In fact the Unicorn, Marconi and Rolco were advertised by Rolex as "An accurate timekeeper at a moderate price".

This particular watch has a hand-winding movement, signed Rolex Geneve underneath the dial, and it is working nicely.

The watch measures 22.5mm wide excluding the winding crown and 30mm high excluding the lugs. The case is signed Rolex SA inside the case back. The case is in good condition with just light surface marks.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is showing signs of its age although still very easy to read the time. The infill has come out of the hands.

A later black leather strap has been fitted.

PRICE INCLUDES WORLDWIDE POSTAGE
