It is a little known fact that Rolex launched a number of so-called dress watches during the 1950s. They were elegant wristwatches intended to be worn by the distinguished gentlemen of the 1950s. This Rolex model hardly ever comes on the market; it features an 18 K yellow gold case with a gilt dial that lends it a particularly warm appeal - a timepiece that pairs well with any elegant gentleman’s outfit.
