I just recently purchased this vintage Rolex piece.
It's a stunning Art Deco travel clock. This is Swiss made by Rolex and features a manual wind movement. There's very few about, so naturally it's quite rare to see these- especially in such good condition.
The casing is silver and features enamel inlay, with initials 'ELT' again in the silver, on the front in classic deco writing. The back features some intricate pattern detailing.
There is a very clever mechanism for opening this up from pocket fob style to travel clock - by pressing the button on side, the clock face slides up from it's casing and then turns and rests back on itself to stand as a travel clock.
It's a beautiful example of a vintage Rolex piece and a welcome addition to the collection.
