Description

A gents 9 carat gold Tudor wrist watch, 1956.

38 years after the first Rolex watches were made, Hans Wilsdorf (founder of Rolex) started a new sub-brand called Tudor, originating from his love of England and in particular the time of the Tudors.

The watch has a Tudor signed 15-jewel hand-winding movement, ETA 1260, which is working well.

The watch itself measures 32mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Edinburgh 1956 with a maker’s mark RWC for Rolex Watch Company, and also the Rolex name. The case is in good condition with just some old repair work to the back of one of the lugs which is very strong and sound. The case back has a long service presentation engraving.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in good condition. The hands probably would have had infill originally.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
