Details
Jewelry That Happens To Tell Time
From the 1920s through the 1970s, the cocktail watch was a popular style for formal evening wear. These pieces were designed first as jewelry, prioritizing precious metals and elegant forms over the robust, waterproof cases that defined Rolex's professional lines. This 18K yellow gold example from the 1960s perfectly captures the era's aesthetic. It is a delicate, discreet timepiece from a time when a watch was an accessory meant to complement an outfit, not dominate it.
An Unexpected Sign Of Age
The defining feature of this piece is its integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet, a design that flows seamlessly from the case. It is a style that wears more like a gold cuff than a traditional watch. Over the decades, the solid gold has developed a subtle and entirely unique purple patina in certain areas. This is not damage, but a natural color shift in the alloy that occurs over a very long period, adding a layer of visual history to the metal that cannot be faked.
Honest Vintage Condition
This watch is in very good condition. The 18K gold case and integrated bracelet are well-preserved, showing the distinct purple color that has developed with age. Its silver dial remains clean and legible. The bracelet is fluid on the wrist and wears comfortably. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Physical Connection To The Past
A watch like this offers a different kind of ownership experience. Its manual-wind movement requires a daily interaction, a quiet ritual of winding that creates a physical bond between the owner and the object. This is for the person who appreciates the elegance and craftsmanship of mid-century design, and who wants a piece of jewelry that carries the weight and history of the Rolex name in its most classic form.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
