Gents 9ct Gold Rotary Wrist Watch, 1968

Gents 9ct gold Rotary wrist watch, 1968.

The watch has a 21-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Rotary wings logo.

The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the case back for London 1968 with a sponsor’s mark for Sylvain Dreyfuss.

Fabriques de Montres Rotary was established by Moise Dreyfuss in 1895, in Switzerland. By the 1920s, family members Georges and Sylvain Dreyfuss began importing Rotary watches to Britain, which was to become the company's most successful market.

The case is in lovely condition and is free from any personal inscriptions.

The lens is in lovely condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish, there are a couple of small marks, nothing too serious at all. There is an early form of quickset date where the hands are moved repeatedly backwards and forwards between 12 midnight and 8.30pm until the desired date is reached.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
