Description

The Rolex concealed dial watch is a rare and elegant creation that merges fine jewelry with Swiss watchmaking. Produced mainly in the mid 20th century, these pieces were designed to resemble luxurious bracelets, with the actual dial hidden beneath a hinged cover. Crafted in 18k gold, they were primarily made for women who wanted discretion and sophistication in equal measure.
