In the 1960s and 1970s, Rolex produced ladies' watches-Jewelry: gem-set cases, integrated bracelets crafted like goldsmith's work, in-house mechanical calibres. This catalogue disappeared with the arrival of quartz and the refocusing on the lines we know today. These pieces, produced in small quantities, are resurfacing today among a generation that finds in them a Rolex that no one else wears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the diamonds original?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes: the setting of two rows of round diamonds on the sides is the period configuration for this reference, documented by the catalogues of the major auction houses on identical examples. Both rows are complete, the setting is in place, and their role remains intact: framing the dial with a double line of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Rolex 1400 calibre?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is the hand-wound mechanical movement that Rolex designed in the 1960s for its ladies' watches: a compact calibre, built and finished with the same seriousness as Oyster movements, renowned for its robustness and still repairable by any good watchmaker. The one in this example has been serviced and is guaranteed for one year — wound every morning, it will last through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the bracelet be adjusted to my size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe integrated bark bracelet closes at approximately 16.5cm wrist circumference, with slight adjustment possible at the clasp. Its one-piece construction does not allow the removal of links as on a conventional bracelet: check your wrist size before purchase, and let us know — we will confirm the possible adjustment before shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suitable for a slim or larger wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its integrated bracelet closing at approximately 16.5cm, it is intended for slim to medium wrists — a guideline, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. Its 22mm width and 7.2mm thickness make it a true wrist jewel, to be worn alone or among fine bracelets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54787943334225,"sku":null,"price":3937.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_07061-4.jpg?v=1788455998","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/rolex-precision-watch-2611-diamond-cocktail-steel-1974","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
