Description |
Exceptional offering from PTC a fully serviced and an equally amazing find, this happens to be the very first ever ROLEX Ladies President model released in 1963. This makes this watch a certified 51 years old time piece, a rare and unique PATENTED pink gold 18k case with all the appropriate BREVET PLUS markings and the parts are all 100% genuine and working just fine. Every part of the watch, and every part inside this rare first ever ladies Automatic movement is correct!
The reference # 6504 happened to be the first ever foray by the Rolex watch co. into the world of ladies automatic or self-winding watches. The very first time, that Rolex put into production the unique and clever automatic reverser system into a ladies automatic movement and therefore, due to the uniqueness of this time piece, the history of the movement, this watch has very RARE written about it's reference. The caliber 1120 inside this watch was first patented in 1962-3 and this is probably one of the earliest examples. The serial # is 968XXX and points squarely to a production date of 1963. This movement features a classic ''butterfly'' oscillating weight, the weight has the words Oyster Perpetual and PATENTED written on the rim of it. The reverser system and the oscillating weight have come out wonderfully after the service was done by PTC. The reverser system works perfectly and the watch keeps great time, due to the timing and positional errors, as well as the age of this time piece, the time keeping accuracy is just 30-45 seconds per day. I have tried to take clear pictures of the BREVET PLUS signatures written inside the case lugs, and it is our duty to point out that the lettering is quite faint, but still legible after you take a closer look with a loupe. The words and Swiss Cross are clearly seen, this same cross is also on the crown, which still locks down appropriately. The movement, case and parts all cleaned and checked. The case is a solid 18k pink gold case, and there was no attempt made to make a full valet, as it would erode more material from the already flimsy case. The case is clean. There would also have been a full ladies BREVET PLUS President 18k pink gold bracelet with this item, but the last owner could not remember what had transpired, and why it was not present with the watch sold. I think that it is impossible to put in a gold bracelet on this time piece, as it will eat away at around the inside of the lugs which will render the case flimsy enough to fall apart. A time piece therefore, to be worn only on a strap. Please take a very close look at the collectibility of this time piece, and also take a close look at the pictures I have taken to accompany this listing. We do not ship to ASIA-S.AMERICA-AFRICA/ please take the time to read up on my GTC page. |
