1956 Rolex Precision 8952 Metropolitan Stunning grey dial Engine turned bezel

Presenting the Rolex Precision, reference 8952, affectionately known as the Metropolitan, this timepiece exudes timeless elegance and distinctive style. Crafted from solid 18k gold, the watch boasts iconic engine turned bezel that sets it apart as a true collector's piece.

The light grey dial serves as a canvas for the masterful artistry of horology, harmonizing with the warmth of the gold case. The minimalist design is punctuated by refined hour markers and dauphine hands, culminating in a look that effortlessly transitions from formal affairs to everyday sophistication.

Beyond its aesthetic allure, the Metropolitan houses a precision manual-wind movement, embodying the heritage of Rolex's unwavering commitment to excellence and accuracy. With its graceful proportions and enduring appeal, the Rolex Metropolitan stands as a testament to the brand's legacy of luxury and refinement.

This example is stunning all original example with a rosey patina on the case and nice original dial. This example is considerably more attractive than most other examples seen of this reference.
