RolexThis is a metal Rolex wall clock catalogued by Christie's to circa the 1970s. Measuring 260 by 320 mm, the upright rectangular case is finished in green paint with a raised golden-toned frame surrounding an offset square dial.
The silvered dial features black baton hour indices, minute markings, black baton hands, the Rolex coronet emblem, and a lower 'Swiss Made' print. Christie's records that the clock is fitted with an electrically wired quartz movement, the electric cable has been cut, and the clock was not running at cataloguing.
