Historic, elegant, and beautifully personal, this Rolex pocket watch is a charming 9ct gold example with a wonderful service presentation engraving. The case is engraved to H. Heywood and reads: “Presented to H. Heywood as an appreciation of twenty-five years continuous service with the British Reinforced Concrete Engineering Co. Ltd.”

The watch features a classic white dial with black Arabic numerals, blued hands and subsidiary seconds dial, giving it a timeless early 20th-century pocket watch appearance. The 9ct gold case has a traditional hinged cover, with internal markings including “9” for 9ct gold, “325”, “ALD” and case number 680824.

The “ALD” stamp is commonly associated with Dennison-made watch cases, often used on British-cased Rolex pocket watches of this period. This example has been serviced and professionally polished in-house prior to listing, offering further reassurance for its next owner.
