This Rolex Chronometer was found by an estate buyer in Toronto. Condition is remarkable considering its 65 year age. The watch runs like a dream, and the dial is as clean as I have seen for a watch this old. I am not a Rolex expert, so the watch is currently undergoing authentication and valuation with two separate Toronto valuation firms which will be added to the post once the valuations are complete next week. High Resolution photos have been posted in the second reply to the thread.

Serial Number: 678042
Year: 1950
Style: Art Deco
Jewels: 17
Case: 10kt Gold filled
Box: Yes, an authentic vintage Rolex box, but not original to the watch
Papers/Service History: Not available
Location: Toronto, Canada
Shipping: Not available. Local pickup only.
Payment: Cash or certified cheque
Condition: Please see photos. Dial: 9.5/10. Case: 7.5/10. Crystal: 9/10. Movement: Watch is keeping accurate time, and subdial sweep is perfect.
Contact: 647.632.6135 (call or text, but text preferred for general inquiries)
Price: $4500 or best offer. Price subject to change following valuation. Also open to trade or cash + trade.

Based on my research, similar pieces have sold very recently for over $5000 CAD.

Though I would prefer to complete the authentication and valuation process prior to a sale, any buyer that wishes to forgo this process to purchase the watch this week may do so. However, with the knowledge that I am representing the piece to the best of my ability, and the sale of the item is final. I am however happy to meet anywhere you like to have the watch authenticated should you wish to meet prior to the valuation next week.

Best regards,

-Kyle

I recently completed the authentication process. The watch was produced in 1950 specifically for the Canadian market. The movement is authentic and was produced in 1950. The dial is authentic, but is not original to the watch as the movement is not a Rolex chronometer movement. Current market value estimated at $1800 as is.View attachment 9126View attachment 9127View attachment 9128

Selling for $1500. Cash only. Local Toronto Pickup only.

Bump. Purchased another Panerai, so just looking to sell at this point. Unless you happen to have a PAM392, which I would trade this Rolex, and my PAM88 for.
