1953 Cloisonné
With Watches and Wonders 2026 in the rear view mirror, we saw some new Rolex models with very interesting enamel dials including the new Rolex Roleseum Daytona, which made me think about this 1953 Rolex watch. Speaking of Watches and Wonders 2026 novelties, in my story on the "100 YEARS" Oyster Perpetual model, I showed a classic 1956 and a 1957 with classic elegant dauphin hands, which also remind me of the design language from this fascinating OP.
In the past I have covered some of very interesting Rolex watches from Christie's auction house in Geneva, Switzerland. This watch in particular caught my eye. It was made in 1953, and is in a smaller 33.5 MM diameter case which features a Rolex Reference number of 6100. It also features a a Heraldic Armorial Cloisonné Enamel dial by Marguerite Koch. Its lot number 112 hammered at CHF 32K.
