The 1957 Rolex Precision encapsulates the brand's commitment to accuracy and fine detailing. Crafted over six decades ago, this watch still boasts a robust performance, underscoring Rolex's unmatched quality and reliability.

Its design is a classic representation of mid-century aesthetics, characterized by clean lines and understated elegance.

The watch is exclusively available at Mozeris Fine Antiques.
Additionally, this particular piece holds a unique appeal due to its association with Dennison, a distinguished case maker.

Hans Wilsdorff and Alfred Davis, the founders of Rolex, initially imported watch movements and commissioned local British goldsmiths to craft the cases in the early 1900s. It wasn't until 1915 that they relocated their operations to Switzerland, even though the Rolex trademark had already been registered in 1908.

Rolex watches housed in cases crafted by Dennison carry a premium in the market, primarily due to their rarity.

Around the time of both World Wars, import taxes on precious metals were exorbitantly high. This resulted in watches being cased in Britain to avoid these costs.

A Rolex movement housed in a Dennison case, is more than just a timepiece. It's a tangible piece of horological and social history, making it highly coveted among collectors and enthusiasts. Consequently, its value surpasses those in Rolex or Wilsdorff & Davis signed cases. So, not only are you purchasing an exquisite Rolex watch from Mozeris Fine Antiques, but you're also acquiring a fascinating slice of history.
