Can I get some help with this "mystery" ref

Hi guys.

I bought this watch about six months ago. I didnt do my studies really well with it, but trusted the seller and loved the watch. I still use it for formal occations, but it hasnt got much wrist time after I got a Daydate. But I still love it :)

I am thinking about maybe selling it now, but I dont have the reference. I have been doing a lot of searches, but havent found this exact same one.

Can some of the experts please help me out? It would be so much easier for me to sell, and find the right price, if I get the correct ref.

This was the info that was given to me by the seller:


A large 9ct gold round vintage Rolex Precision watch. The case measures 36 mm in diameter. The case is signed Dennison, Made in England for Rolex, hallmarked Birmingham 1959 and numbered 71038. The movement is signed Rolex, Swiss Made with 15 Rubies. The rare 'honeycomb' dial has raised gold batons with gold Arabic numerals at the quarters and centre sweep seconds. The dial is signed Rolex, with the coronet, above the centre.
A truly stunning watch in fabulous condition!



The strap and buckle is not Rolex.

Thanks alot!

These Dennison cases are quite different from Rolex cases in that the information you seek will not be located between the lugs, but inside the case back.
