Classically styled, this is an immaculately presented British market vintage Rolex watch from the period just after World War II. Its Dennison gold case is free of wear and its movement entirely original and unmodified.

With highly stylised bombee lugs, this is an example of the beautiful watches produced by Rolex in the 1940s. Aesthetically very pleasing, this item is, as we would expect, technically first rate and in superb condition.

This watch combines extremely interesting technical aspects in the form of its back set winding crown with superb build quality and very striking art deco aesthetics. A luxury model for the post-War high society set, it still has an aura of opulence today.

Honeycomb dials are something we associate with vintage watches from the 1950s, but here is a very fine sample from the previous decade. Finding another comparable piece in the same condition would not be an easy task.

A near mint automatic Rolex Tudor Oyster Prince 34 with the highly desirable 390 movement. Good, untouched Tudor Oyster Princes from the early 1950s are very challenging to source now. This is among the best we’ve owned in several years.

While a very attractive watch, the appeal of this piece to the vintage IWC collector lies in its calibre 62 movement. Only produced for 11 years, including World War II, this beautiful mechanism is not often seen and is rightly regarded as an exotic find.

Historically important piece as it contains the first automatic movement type, calibre 138, to be produced by Universal. Manufactured entirely in-house, the quality of these early self-winding Universal mechanisms is second to none.

An immaculate example of the rare and desirable Rolex Tudor reference 1431. This was a perpetual model, but curiously, not an Oyster. With the celebrated calibre 390 movement and a large case, it is one of the most beautiful of all the Tudor variants. Very collectible in this condition.

Simple and very elegant, this classic Rolex Tudor offers a very affordable entry into the world of vintage luxury wristwatches. Authentic and correct throughout, it is an attractive Rolex watch that can be bought for a modest sum.

This ingenious model offers the facility of storage behind the case back, accessed by pivoting the watch front upwards. Retailed by high society New York jeweller Tiffany & Co, it is the perfect quirky luxury watch of its era.
