The discreet accessory Rolex slipped in with its watches

This Rolex card holder, reference 0101.60.34, is an official leather good from the maison, in burgundy grained cowhide, with all four corners reinforced by golden metal corner pieces. The Rolex crown is hot-stamped in gold in the lower right corner, with no other exterior marking. The stitching is done tone on tone, using a thread whose shade blends into the grain of the leather.

Its original function was precise: to hold the pocket calendar and translation booklet that Rolex supplied with some of its watches. It was never listed in the catalogue as an item sold separately, which explains why it is encountered far more rarely today than the presentation boxes or the booklets themselves. Most of those who own one have since repurposed it for everyday use, whether for bank cards or business cards.

The format, 12 by 9 centimetres, slips into an inner jacket pocket without distorting it. Two open pockets are arranged on the front, accessible with a simple slide. The construction remains deliberately pared down: no closure, no added lining, no ornament beyond the crown and the corner pieces. It is a functional object, designed by a maison that had no reason to do more.

The deep burgundy of this grained leather is one of the least common shades in this series, generally found in green or taupe. Rolex accessories are among the most frequently reproduced objects on the market, precisely because they circulate at prices that bear no comparison to those of the watches. This example is covered by our lifetime authenticity guarantee, with no time limit.

Three points to note

• Accessory never sold separately — it accompanied the watch at the time of sale, which makes it rarer today than the presentation boxes and booklets from the same period.
• Burgundy shade — less common than the green or taupe versions usually encountered in this series.
• Reinforced corners in golden metal — the four corner pieces protect the corners and reflect the original construction of the reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was this card holder originally used for?
It accompanied certain Rolex watches at the time of sale and held the pocket calendar as well as the translation booklet supplied with the piece. It was not listed in the catalogue as an item sold separately. Today, most owners use it as a bank card holder or business card holder, a purpose for which its format is perfectly suited.

How can one ensure the authenticity of a Rolex accessory?
The House's accessories are among the most frequently reproduced objects on the market, precisely because they circulate at prices incomparable to those of watches. The points requiring attention are the quality of the leather grain, the sharpness of the crown stamp, the regularity of the stitching, and the finish of the corners. This piece is covered by our lifetime authenticity guarantee, with no time limitation.

Is the burgundy shade common for this reference?
No. Rolex produced these card holders in several colours depending on the period, with green and taupe by far the most frequently encountered. Burgundy is a markedly less common variant, which makes it a sought-after object among collectors assembling a complete series of the House's accessories.

What are the dimensions and what can be stored in it?
The card holder measures 12 by 9 centimetres. The two front pockets hold standard bank card-sized cards, with several cards per pocket. Its format slips easily into an inner jacket pocket or a bag without taking up space. There is no closure: the cards are held in place by the tension of the leather.

How should this leather be cared for?
A soft, dry cloth is sufficient for routine care. A neutral nourishing cream may be applied sparingly once or twice a year, in a very thin layer, never coloured polish, which would alter the original shade. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and contact with water, which may mark the leather irreversibly.
