1960’s ROTARY (Swiss) Large-Cased 9k Rose Gold Automatic Dress Watch – 25j Cal. 575

Professionally inspected in-house here at Localtime, this is a large-cased Rotary 25j Automatic Cal. 575 with a solid 9k rose gold case. SN# 792773 which places its production in the 1960’s. The large (for the period) 9k solid rose gold case (36mm or 37.50 counting the crown at 3h) has been cleaned (not polished) and the Rotary 25j Cal. 575  movement inspected. A stunning watch that oozes class whichever angle you look at it from, this classic dress watch comes on a great quality Hirsch crocodile-grain calf leather strap in cognac brown that we think compliments the champagne dial and gold hands and applied indices, very nicely. We have made many photos of this beautiful timepiece, including some macro close-up shots, just for fun.

As with all the watches we handle in-house here at Localtime, the listed buy-it-now price will include a 3-month written warranty from the date of purchase . Feel free to ask us for whatever clarifications you might need.

Important Note: Sometimes I am asked what I exactly mean with ‘professionally inspected by Localtime’. Here is my theory on vintage watches: as a purveyor of vintage watches, my effort is to always do only what is needed to the watch. I do not buy ‘junk’ watches to resell. I am choosy with my purchases and always sell watches that are, to my knowledge, authentic and in good condition. I first inspect the watch, both visually (cosmetically) and then mechanically. If I judge that the watch is not yet in need of a full service then I do not put the watch through a service which, by the way, entails a lot of risks too. Instead, I give it what I call my ‘Spa’ treatment which will include a cleaning, changing of gaskets, oiling, lubricating and mechanical testing. If the plexi is heavily scratched or discoloured and it can not be cleaned, I change it. If the crown is wrong or worn, I also change it. Now, if the watch is in need of a full service, then my ‘professionally inspected’ description becomes ‘professionally serviced’. In both cases, I mention what has been changed (if anything) on the watch and I include a written warranty with my listed price.

Important Note On Straps/Bracelets: The straps I use on my watches (leather, canvas, suede, rubber) are always brand new, unless otherwise mentioned and, in most cases, I also sell them separately in my store, in different colours and sizes. In the case of metal bracelets, if the watch is NOS, the bracelet is also unused. If the watch is pre-owned with its original bracelet, then the bracelet is also pre-owned, unless otherwise mentioned. Either way, if in doubt, please ask.
