Consigned by the original owner, who's family apparently owned a prominent jewellery store and Rolex authorised stockist, this, completely factory-set, Ladies example would have been one of the most expensive Rolex watches available at the time. In researching, it would appear very few examples have previously been offered at auction and none with their original referenced, presentation case.
