The dial features steel raised arrowhead batons and large steel dauphine hands.
The Rolex crown logo and serial number 627032 remain on the back of the case.
Very high quality 15 jewel movement has been fully serviced by a watchmaker.

Box and accessories
As with many vintage watches that are over 70 years old, the original certificate of authenticity has been lost or discarded over the years.
However, even though this watch does not have the original box or certificate, the watch, reference numbers, marks, signatures and hallmarks are all correct and indicate that this watch dates to 1947.
