Rolex Cloisonné World Dial Sets Record
Antiquorum Auction Sold for $722,000!!!
[34mm 1950 Rolex: Reference 6284]

Earlier this week we were looking at a 1952 Rolex Galleon Hand Enameled dial [Reference 6100] and today we are examining another.

The hand-enameled Rolex picture below set an all-time sales record for a non-complicated Rolex on Sunday, at the Antiquorum Auction in Switzerland when it sold for $$772,000!!! The dial was hand-enamled by Margueritte Koch who worked for Stern Frères. Only six of these 14kt gold Rolex watches were made.

This Rolex watch set an all-time record for a non-complcated Rolex. The all-time record for a Rolex was in May or 1996, at Antiquorum, for a Split Reference 4113 from the Mondani Collection, which sold for $800,851.
