Rolex Silver Tonneau Shape with Rare Original Breguet Engine Turned Dial 1920's

About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Rolex Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Tonneau / Reference 575 METAL / MATERIAL: Sterling Silver CIRCA / YEAR: 1920's DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length 36 X Width 26mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 15 Jewels / Caliber DIAL / HANDS: Rare, Original Silvered with Breguet Engine Turning Luminous Numerals / Blued Steel Luminous Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Alligator, 14mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement We seldom see this model, and almost never, with the original, unrestored Breguet dial with Luminous Numerals. In addition, this watch still has its original Blued Steel Luminous Hands as well. It is fitted with a high grade Rolex Caliber 15 Jewel movement. The watch has just been serviced by our finest watchmaker and keeps dependable time. It is a perfect unisex size and goes with any attire as well. It is a privilege to own and wear, and count on, a watch that is nearly 100 years old. By the way, the tonneau shaped watch was first created by Louis Cartier in France around 1914. He saw barrels on the docks in Marseille and realized it would be a perfect shape for a watch. Hence, the name tonneau, French for barrel. Cartier was one of the first designers to "stylize" basic things around him. He looked at them and re-interpreted them by exaggeration, extension and "stylization."
