1946-47 Precision Ref. 4560 Steel

An early Rolex Precision reference 4560 in stainless steel, dating to 1946–47. Generously sized for its era at 34mm, the beautifully sculpted case is distinguished by pronounced curved lugs that give the watch considerably more presence on the wrist than its dimensions might suggest.

The white dial has been professionally restored while retaining a period-appropriate appearance, with applied silver Roman numerals alternating with baton markers, slim blued hands and a subsidiary seconds dial.

Powered by a 15-jewel Rolex manual-wind movement. The case back retains its clearly legible numbers and crisply stamped Rolex crown, while a greyish-blue leather strap complements the cool tones of the steel case. A charming post-war Rolex with particularly strong case architecture.
