My Rolex Unicorn 1920s
      Hi everyone, here are some scans of my vintage (could be an antique) Rolex Unicorn from the '20s. The case is gold filled. It measures 16.5mm X 30.5mm exclusive of the crown. From the scans, you might have noticed that it is a hinged case. Movement-wise - manual wide of course. 17 rubies. The only down point is that the Rolex logo on the dial is almost all gone. If you look closey - the ROL is still there. IMHO, the movement is missing a a screwed cover plate for the escape wheel jewel. I am not 100% sure though. Surprisingly, the movement is still working properly. |

What you have is why I love Rolex so much. You have a piece of Rolex history and makes it a true Rolex experience to be able to hold the Rolex movement and be proud. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice watch but a proper RWC Rolex,with the higher grade movement and not a Rolex Unicorn. All the Unicorns I have ever seen were 15 jewel movements,and clearly marked Unicorn on movement.Love the enamelled Art Deco Art Nouveau style dial and case.

I believe these are two examples of Rolex Unicorn watches:
