Title: Early Rolex Wilsdorf & Davis 9ct Gold Bracelet Wristwatch, c.1919
Description: Early Rolex Wilsdorf & Davis 9ct Gold Bracelet Wristwatch, c.1919

Early Rolex ladies' wristwatch dating to the early 20th century, circa 1919, housed in a 9ct gold case and fitted with a substantial 9ct gold expanding link bracelet.

The cream enamel dial is attractively detailed with stylised Arabic numerals, including the distinctive red 12, and blued steel hands.
The hinged case opens to reveal the original manual-wind Swiss movement, signed Rolex and Swiss Made.

The inside of the case is signed Rolex, 9C, W&D for Wilsdorf & Davis, and Swiss, together with its case number.
Wilsdorf & Davis was the partnership established by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis from which the Rolex company developed, making these early signed examples particularly interesting pieces from the formative period of Rolex.

The expanding bracelet is stamped 9 for 9ct gold.
