Specialist note

Redolent of the glamour of the late 1950s and early 1960s, this gold cocktail bracelet watch is set with white diamonds and only reveals the dial when opening the hinged covers.

Generally made in only one or two examples, the highly stylish cases and bracelets of Rolex lady’s gem-set watches at this period were often designed and made under outside contract by the finest jewellers. The bracelet of the present bears the punch mark “GFG”.
