A vintage Rolex ladies' watch head in 18K gold, with a square case and scalloped corners, a gold dial with black Arabic numerals and hinged wire lugs, offered without a strap.
The Piece
Rolex was founded in London in 1905 and moved to Geneva in 1919, and it made small gold wristwatches in many case shapes long before the Oyster.
This is the head of a small ladies' watch in 18K gold. The square case has scalloped corners and hinged wire lugs, the gold dial is signed Rolex and carries black Arabic numerals in rings around a silvered outer track, and the movement is wound by hand.
It is offered as the head only, without a strap or bracelet. Its previous owner describes it as close to unused stock but rates it at the lowest grade of the owner's own scale, and running was not confirmed, so it is a piece for a collector or a restorer. The photographs show the front and the case back, which carries fine scratches.
