1940s Rolex Val-69 Ref.3233 Cylinder Design Baby Chronograph in 18K Yellow Gold (Mint Condition)

This is a beautiful example of a cylinder design baby chronograph with the famous Val-69, Rolex Ref. 3233, manufactured in the early 1940s. It is equipped with the rare Valjoux 69 with a diameter of only 23mm, which was considered the smallest in the world at the time. The 31mm cylinder case with its unique silhouette without lugs is in excellent condition and has been preserved without polishing. The silver dial with a condensed multi-scale design has no noticeable scratches or stains, and the print has not peeled off at all. This is a wonderful gem that has a presence that transcends its size, not only because of its design, but also because of its excellent state of preservation. It comes with the original gold-plated buckle of later years.
