About the Item

NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers with a 5.0 star rating. 1973 ROLEX PRECISION Vintage Mens Ref. 3411 Dress Watch - Stainless Steel & Diamonds Very Fine & Classic - Gorgeous Restored Condition - 1 Year Warranty In the 1970's as Rolex was just transitioning its dress watches to be sold under the Cellini moniker, in the midst of their high output of utilitarian Oyster sports watches, Rolex also made much more elegant dress watches. These fine wristwatches often combine a superior hand-wound mechanism with beautiful aesthetics. The elegant and uncommon dress Rolex Precision showcased in today's offering is a prime example of this phenomenon. It is one the last mens dress watches sold under the Precision label. It features very fine and dramatic styling and a well-executed handwound movement. It is full size for the style - slightly over 35mm in diameter without the crown - in between the sizes of a mens Rolex Date & Datejust. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration. Our photos couldn't do it justice. It presents in gorgeous restored condition. The bracelet which is integrated into the case, is signed Rolex but appears to have been a later aftermarket addition done mostly likely in silver. Its case presents as mint with only light signs of previous polishing. Despite what the photos seem to suggest, all of the Rolex markings are still lightly intact. Its Rolex dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye. Its movement has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. Its movement, which would have originally have had sweep seconds, has previously had it removed. It is very clean and running extremely strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Rolex in our testing recording position. Photos of the inside available upon request. Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center. For the finishing touch, it has been meticulously detailed making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Don't miss the opportunity to own the perfect complement to your sporty Datejust, Sub, GMT, or Daytona.

Rolex

While the rise in popularity of vintage Rolex watches is of no surprise to aficionados, collectors and industry experts, when it comes to contemporary luxury wristwatches, Rolex is also often the first brand that springs to mind. Not only is the company revered for its precision timekeeping and impeccable craftsmanship, but its name was designed to be memorable.

Rolex's enviable worldwide recognition can be credited in part to the genius of company founder Hans Wilsdorf. When the German-born watch dealer and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis, set up their London enterprise, in 1905, they called it Wilsdorf & Davis, according to the traditional formula.

But Wilsdorf was determined to come up with another name that was short, would look good on a watch dial and was easy to say and remember in several languages. In 1908, he trademarked the name Rolex, and by 1920, he had moved the company to Geneva and redubbed it as Montres Rolex S.A.

But the main reasons for the brand’s success are its aforementioned commitment to precision and unflagging pursuit of innovation. In 1926, the company introduced the aptly named Oyster model. With a screw-down crown and case back, both fitted with rubber gaskets, this was the first truly waterproof watch.

Five years later, Rolex upped the ante with the Oyster Perpetual. That model’s patented Perpetual movement contained a rotor mechanism enabling it to self-wind. In another trendsetting move, in 1945, the brand debuted the Datejust, with a date window prominently displayed on the dial.

The company’s two most iconic models are sports watches. Although the Submariner, which debuted in 1953, was developed as a dive watch, its waterproof case, solid construction and good looks made it a favorite of adventurers and urbanites alike, including James Bond, who wore it in classics like Dr. No and Goldfinger. The Daytona, the racing chronograph made famous by Paul Newman, is especially sought after by collectors. Newman’s personal Daytona, which hit the auction block in 2017, sold for $17.8 million.
