Any info about this vintage Rolex?

A friend was just given this vintage Rolex by his father in law, but he doesn't know anything about it. He loves it, and we are guessing it's a WW1 era watch. Curiously, it also says Breguet on the movement. Does anyone recognise this model and can tell us anything about it? It would be nice to know a little more about it. Thanks in advance!
