Product Information
A fine example of 1950s Rolex craftsmanship, this 1952 Rolex Oyster Royal has a robust 32.5mm stainless steel Oyster case (38mm lug-to-lug and 11.5mm thick). The watch features a rich cream dial adorned with Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 - alongside applied hour markers and elegant 'leaf' hands. The large 'Brevet' ('Patented') crown, reminiscent of those fitted to early Rolex Submariners, ensures it wears a little larger than 32.5mm would suggest - making it a good vintage size for many wrists. The textured brown leather strap has a Rolex-branded buckle. Powered by a hand-wound Rolex movement, the Oyster Royal is a highly desirable piece for collectors of vintage Rolex watches.
Brand Information
Founded in 1905, Rolex is universally recognised for its pioneering spirit and commitment to excellence in horology. The Oyster, introduced in 1926, was the world’s first waterproof wristwatch and marked a turning point in watchmaking history. The Oyster Royal models were introduced in the 1930s and offered robust everyday reliability with elegant styling. This example embodies Rolex's early pursuit of combining rugged functionality with refined aesthetics, making it a superb addition to any serious vintage collection.
