Story
The mid-1980s was a period of high-octane glamour where the watch became the ultimate status symbol of the 'Power Dressing' movement.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1895 by Moise Dreyfuss in the heart of the Swiss watchmaking world, Rotary is one of the industry's most enduring family-run legacies.
Condition & Value
The gold plating appears remarkably well-preserved with very little 'brassing' or wear-through on the high-friction areas of the bracelet. Value is based on the brand's solid reputation and the current 'retro-chic' trend for integrated bracelets.
