Hello, I recently inherited this watch from an uncle. Curious to know more about it, including value. What I know is that he purchased the watch on a trip to Switzerland in the late 70's. There is a number on the bottom edge of the case: 487874. It looks like rose gold, but it could be tarnished as it's sat in a box for the last two decades plus. Case is 3.5 cm left to right. Face has roman numerals and the following words top to bottom: Rolex, oyster perpetual, chronometre, swiss made. The winder has rolex, the swiss coss symbol, oyster. There are no markings on the back. Thank you for any information you might provide.  | ||

It's actually probably around 1948 or so, so he must have bought it used. It looks like a gold bubble back model, value will depend to a large degree on it it is 14k or 18k or gold top/steel back (you don't say). Due to their smallish size, they're a little soft right now, but you call it $2000 and up, more if all 14k, and more if all 18k. |
