Vintage Rolex Skyline Centregraph WW2 Men’s Military Watch

Up for sale is an exceptional and extremely rare Vintage Rolex Skyline Centregraph men’s watch from the World War II era. This is a true collector-grade military Rolex with outstanding presence, originality, and character—an increasingly hard-to-find piece that represents the golden age of early Rolex tool watch production. The watch is currently running and holding accurate time. It is powered by its original 17 jewel Caliber 59 movement, a higher-grade version compared to the more commonly encountered 15 jewel variants, offering improved specification and greater collectability. This model belongs to the same wartime family of Rolex references as the Skyrocket, Sea-Lion, Victory, and several other closely related models that did not always display “Rolex” prominently on the dial. These watches were produced during a unique period in Rolex history and share common design language, case construction, and movement architecture. Beyond the crown having been replaced at some point in the watch’s life, all other parts of the watch are original. The case, dial, hands, and original 17J Cal. 59 movement remain correct to the watch, preserving its authenticity and strong collector appeal. The dial has developed a very interesting and attractive patina over the decades, giving the watch tremendous character. The luminous Arabic numerals and blued hands deliver the classic WWII military aesthetic collectors appreciate. The watch shows signs of use and age consistent with a vintage timepiece that has been worn over the years. The case back is 100% original and features what is likely one of the most minimal Rolex markings ever placed on a case back — simply “ROLEX.” This understated marking is a known and common quirk among this series of wartime models and further supports its originality. The watch is fitted on a NOS era-correct high-end Bonklip style bracelet. This bracelet is highly adjustable and can accommodate nearly any wrist size, making it both historically appropriate and very wearable.
