Rolex, 9K 15J Hunter Case

Swiss. Circa 1910s. Rolex, founded in 1905, is better known for wristwatches, but it also produced a number of hunter case pocket watches in the early 20th century. These pieces featured manual wind movements and were often sold under the W&D (Wilsdorf & Davis) or Rolex name. The hunter case offered dial protection and a more formal aesthetic, popular with gentlemen of the Edwardian and interwar eras. Though not common, Rolex pocket watches reflect the brand’s early ambition to innovate and establish quality. They are now highly collectible due to their rarity and historic branding significance. Includes gold plated chain The watch was found to be running at the time of cataloguing. It has not been tested for timekeeping accuracy and may require adjustment.
