Up for sale is a Vintage Rolex Victory World War II–era military-style wristwatch, featuring an original Rolex Victory dial and an original Caliber 59, 17-jewel manual-wind movement. During and immediately following World War II, Rolex supplied reliable timepieces for military and civilian use, making watches from this period historically important and highly collectible today. The watch is running and holding accurate time. The dial and movement are original. The watch is housed in an aftermarket case and fitted with an era-correct, style-correct stainless steel Bonklip-style bracelet, which complements the military aesthetic of the watch well. The watch is in great physical condition for its age and presents very well. Photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.

► ARCHIVE FILE: ROLEX — BRAND HISTORY

Rolex began in London in 1905, when Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis founded Wilsdorf & Davis to case Swiss movements for the British market. Wilsdorf registered the Rolex name in 1908, choosing it because it was short, easy to pronounce in any language, and fit neatly on a dial. He then set about proving that wristwatches, still dismissed as jewelry, could be precision instruments: a Rolex earned the first chronometer certificate granted to a wristwatch in 1910, a Kew Class A certificate followed in 1914, and the firm moved to Geneva in 1919.
