Rolex Orhcid 9677 Ladies Cocktail Watch 18k Yellow Gold circa 1950’s

This Rolex Orchid Ref. 9677 represents a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Rolex history — a jewel-like watch that embodies the refined femininity and craftsmanship of the 1950’s. Cased in 18k yellow gold and preserved in near-new condition, the original brushing and finish from the factory remain beautifully intact, a testament to how sparingly this piece was worn.

The dial shows a soft, even patina that adds depth and authenticity, complemented by the elegant faceted hour markers and the charming ‘Orchid’-signature. Visually, it shows unmistakable 1950’s character — the kind of timeless beauty that stands apart in today’s world of modern jewelry watches. It wears with exceptional elegance, understated yet immediately recognizable to those who appreciate vintage sophistication.

Inside ticks a manually wound Rolex in-house movement, freshly serviced in October 2025 and running perfectly. The watch is accompanied by its original 1950’s Rolex presentation box — itself a rarity and a wonderful match to the watch’s remarkable preservation.

Beyond its beauty, this Orchid also offers incredible value. At €2,450, it costs little more than a gold-plated quartz Cartier — yet here, you get a solid 18k gold Rolex with a hand-finished mechanical movement, original box, and all the grace and authenticity that modern pieces can’t replicate.

Highlights

• Original and very rare 1950s Rolex box in near-new condition
• Fully serviced in October 2025
• Discontinued and highly collectible Orchid model in solid 18k gold
