A solid eighteen carat yellow gold concealed bracelet watch. Is there anything more chic than combining your watch into an elegant beautiful bracelet? We don’t think so. This exquisite yellow gold bracelet watch exemplifies timeless elegance. Seamlessly blending form and function, it offers the chic convenience of a concealed timepiece within a beautifully handcrafted bracelet. Meticulously crafted by one of Europe's premier luxury brands, the supple, silk-like bracelet measures approximately 7 inches, accommodating most wrists with ease. This exceptional piece of high jewelry design is a testament to the brand's unparalleled expertise and commitment to quality.
The watch's design is so beautifully crafted that the concealment of the timepiece is nearly imperceptible to the naked eye. The exquisite brick-like pattern is hand-engraved across the opening lid of the watch case, repeating this intricate detail. To access the Rolex dial beneath, the lid can be easily lifted by using a nail to pry open the front side, allowing it to hinge back.
The watch is powered by a 17 jewel, manually wound Rolex movement. The case back of the inside of the watch bears full Swiss hallmarks for 750, eighteen carat yellow gold, along with Swiss control marks. There is also the Rolex branding and logo applied in the center. All of which can be seen in the image provided on the listing. The bracelet is stamped 'CB750'. It is believed that this element of the watch was made by C. Bucherer. Bucherer had a long history with Rolex, and being more of a jewellery maker than just a watch maker leant its hand to assist Rolex in entering the cocktail watch, and jewellery watch market, within which they were well behind other Swiss leading names; Jaeger LeCoultre, Patek Philippe and Cartier, to name a few. Rolex recently acquiring Bucherer into their brand umbrella, such is their long and bountiful relationship.
The condition of the watch is exceptional throughout. The bracelet appears to have never been polished and the dial is original on the watch. Often, these can be refinished over the years due to the poor sealing of these types of cases – this is not the case here. There is some patina to the diamond cut engine turned patterned dial, but all the printing is original to the watch, from factory, including the "Swiss" stamping at the foot of the dial.
There is a small gold safety chain that is attached to the bracelet in order to offer an additional layer of security in the highly unlikely event the clasp should open. This can be removed, if so desrived.
This unique timepiece seamlessly blends style, beauty, and functionality, offering the wearer the best of both a stunning bracelet and a premium Swiss watch.
