Rolex Pocket Watch Custom Wristwatch White Dial 1930s

Introduction

In the world of horology, there are timepieces that hold a special place in history and captivate the hearts of collectors. The Rolex Pocket Watch Custom Wristwatch from the 1930s is one such timepiece. This remarkable watch combines the elegance of a bygone era with the modernity of a custom wristwatch.

Timekeeping Excellence

At its core, this exquisite timepiece houses a serviced 1930s Rolex pocket watch movement. Despite the passage of time, the movement continues to function flawlessly, a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. With 17 jewels and a mechanical hand-winding mechanism, this watch embodies the precision and reliability that Rolex is renowned for. While the exact serial number of the caliber remains unknown, its performance is a testament to its heritage.

Aesthetic Enhancements

This custom wristwatch has undergone a meticulous transformation, including a recasing and refurbishment. The gold-plated stainless steel case showcases a tasteful blend of elegance and durability. Encased within the front and back mineral glass, the watch reveals its intricate inner workings, inviting you to appreciate its mechanical marvel.

Timepiece Dimensions

The case size, excluding the crown, measures approximately 48mm, providing a commanding presence on the wrist. With a case thickness of around 15.5mm and a lug width of approximately 22mm, this watch strikes a balance between classic proportions and contemporary style. Every aspect of its design has been carefully considered, resulting in a harmonious and visually appealing timepiece.

Exquisite Details

The dial of this custom wristwatch has been meticulously repaired to restore its original allure. Complementing the dial, the standard hardened steel hands offer a striking contrast, ensuring excellent legibility. Turn the watch over, and you'll discover uncompromising smooth engravings that extend to the bridge and lower plate, showcasing the attention to detail that went into its creation.

The Perfect Crown

The shape of the crown adds a touch of softness to the watch's overall design. Reminiscent of an onion, it harmonizes beautifully with the gold color of the case. Operating the crown allows for precise long hand alignment by a simple one-step pull, ensuring accurate timekeeping and ease of use.

A Timepiece with Character

When viewed from the front, this custom wristwatch presents itself in its fully original form—a nod to its heritage and history. However, turning it over reveals a delightful surprise—a golden antique clock that stands out with its playful yet sophisticated custom design. This duality of appearance adds a touch of whimsy and uniqueness to the timepiece, making it a true conversation starter.

Thoughtful Craftsmanship

Completing the ensemble is a crocodile cowhide belt, adding a touch of luxury and refinement to the watch. The movement of this timepiece demonstrates a daily difference of approximately 1 to 2 minutes, which is commendable for a watch of its age. It is a testament to its care and the dedication of those who have serviced it over the years.

Important Considerations

While this timepiece is a remarkable vintage treasure, it's important to note that it shows signs of its age. Small scratches, not captured in the photos, are present, and it's essential to understand and appreciate these nuances before making a purchase. This watch, like any other of its era, is not flawless, so please refrain from buying if you seek perfection.

A Watch to Cherish

This old-world timepiece is eagerly awaiting a discerning owner who will appreciate its historical significance and unique charm. Its timeless appeal and impeccable craftsmanship make it a perfect addition to any watch collection. If you are the one who can use it 

carefully and cherish its legacy, this Rolex Pocket Watch Custom Wristwatch from the 1930s could be the perfect timepiece for you.

The Legacy Lives On

Owning a watch with such rich history and character comes with the responsibility of preserving its legacy. This timepiece carries the stories of the past and the craftsmanship of a bygone era. By becoming its next owner, you become a custodian of its heritage, ensuring its continued existence for generations to come.

A Connection to the Past

Wearing this custom wristwatch allows you to connect with a different time, a time when elegance and attention to detail were paramount. Every glance at your wrist will transport you back to the 1930s, a period known for its artistry and sophistication. It's a tangible link to the past, a reminder of the artistry and ingenuity of watchmaking pioneers.
