"Very rare Rolex Channel Float with the reference 1336 from 1929 in very nice condition.

The 20s were exciting and formative for the company with the crown.
Just 1926 was an important year for Rolex. Hans Wilsdorf wanted a watch that not only stood out for its precision but was also extremely robust. He developed a case that was hermetically protected against water, dust and air like an oyster; with a fixed screw connection for the case back, bezel and winding crown. With the introduction of the "Oyster", Rolex launched the first waterproof and dustproof wristwatch.
That's not all. In 1927, in a risky advertising strategy, he proved the tightness of the Oyster; when crossing the English Channel - a sporting event of worldwide acclaim. The English swimmer Mercedes Gleitze wore a Rolex Oyster "Channel Swimmer" on her wrist when she tried to swim through the Channel. Unfortunately their attempt failed narrowly, but Mercedes Gleitze was cheered and with her the waterproof Oyster. For over 10 hours in the cold water of the English Channel she had survived unharmed, more than that, she ran to the second.

For Rolex, this event was the start of its ascent to the highest ranks of the watchmaking guild ...
... the launch of the brand ambassador concept.

Here you have the opportunity to purchase a Rolex from exactly this time - i.e. of true origin.

This watch is an interesting classic and the dial looks wonderfully simple and clear under the domed Plexiglas. It bears the inscription "c.Bucherer's Rolex" in the middle below 12 o'clock. At that time it was still common for well-known dealers to print their names on the sheets, which is almost unthinkable today. The minutes are circulating. Every five minutes there is a slightly thicker line that highlights the subdivision. The Arabic numerals are applied to the golden leaf. These are beautifully aged and finely oxidized over time. A wonderful vintage look. The blackened hands are well preserved and rich in contrast.

The case of the watch is made of 18K yellow gold, which was an absolute rarity and is hardly available on the market today.

A real channel swimmer will of course look great in a Rolex collection. It is the ladies' size of 28 x 30 mm without crown and horns. Such a watch always cuts a good figure with collectors and lasts a lifetime if cared for properly - or even over a lifetime as is proven here. However, it is not a watch for daily wear, it would be much too good for that.

The clear dial is timelessly beautiful, far from any trend, and will always remain so. In combination with the leather strap it is a great Dresswatch and wears very nice in the cold seasons with the memory of the good old times. At no time does the watch appear pushy or pompous. Always elegant and noble.

This watch is definitely interesting as a capital investment and you will not find a comparable one.
