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.

Based on my research, similar pieces have sold very recently for between $5000-$7500 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.

Best regards,

-Kyle
