Description

Rolex Precision “Belt Watch” Ref. 8209 in 18K Pink Gold. A stunning example of Rolex's craftsmanship and creativity from the 1950s, this rare timepiece features a square case paired with an extraordinary integrated brick-style bracelet, culminating in a uniquely crafted belt buckle clasp. The generously sized bracelet is easily adjustable, making it suitable for both men and women. In excellent overall condition, the case and bracelet remain unpolished, with all gold hallmarks perfectly preserved. The dial, showing minor signs of aging, retains its original charm with a soft creamy patina that elegantly complements the pink gold hour markers and hands. Powered by a manual-winding, 17-jewel movement, this watch is a testament to Rolex’s artistry and heritage. Wearing this exceptional timepiece offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a piece of history with distinctive style.

THE QUEST FOR CHRONOMETRIC PRECISION 1910

Rolex first concentrated on the quality of the movements. The relentless quest for chronometric precision rapidly led to success. In 1910, a Rolex watch was the first wristwatch in the world to receive the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, granted by the Official Watch Rating Centre in Bienne. Four years later, in 1914, Kew Observatory in Great Britain awarded a Rolex wristwatch a class “A” precision certificate, a distinction which until that point in time had been reserved exclusively for marine chronometers. From that date forward, the Rolex wristwatch was synonymous with precision.
