This elegant Rolex Precision Ref. 8209 from 1959 is much more than a watch - it is a piece of jewelry. Inspired by the silhouette of a belt, the fine finish of the bezel blends seamlessly with the integrated white gold bracelet, whose distinctive folding clasp is reminiscent of a belt buckle.
The case and bracelet are unpolished and retain their original texture and crisp lines - a very rare and highly prized feature among connoisseurs and collectors. All the serial numbers and gold hallmarks are deep, clear and completely preserved.
The simple white non-lume dial is complemented by applied white gold hour-markers and dagger hands, a combination that lends the timepiece understated elegance and classic refinement.
A technical highlight is the folding clasp, which folds to the side and allows the bracelet length to be adjusted, just like a belt.
This vintage wristwatch has a charismatic look - elegant, individual and uncompromisingly authentic. A hidden gem of the watchmaker's art for those who seek the extraordinary.
