Indications are provided by open-circle tipped Breguet-style hands, paired with an inset subsidiary seconds register positioned at 6 o'clock.
- Case Construction and Exterior Observations
- The pocket watch is configured in an open-face style with a gold-plated case measuring 47 mm in width and fitted with a plexiglass crystal. A gold-toned bow and winding crown are positioned at the 12 o'clock marker. The seller rates the condition as 9/10, but exterior case back engravings, serial markings, and internal casemaker stamps are not visible in the available imagery or provided record.
- Dating, Model Identification, and Provenance
- The seller lists the date of issue as approximately the 1950s, while formally designating the model reference as unknown. The watch was sold without original presentation box or accompanying papers. Without documented movement or case serial numbers, this dating estimate cannot be independently verified against Rolex production records.
- Reported Movement and Catalogued Specifications
- The watch is powered by a mechanical manual-winding movement. According to the seller's cataloguing, the movement is designated as calibre 666 and incorporates 15 jewels, with the power reserve listed as unknown. Direct visual inspection of the movement is not possible from the single dial-side photograph provided, meaning calibre markings, finishing, and mechanical condition remain unverified independently of the vendor's listing.
