First waterproof watch Alpina in collaboration with Rolex. Case and movement are from Rolex. The cushion-shaped Oyster case is screwed back and forth and also has a screw-in crown. The depth in the center dial is enamelled, shows Arabic numerals and carries a subdial for the seconds. The work is signed with Rolex and manufactured in best quality (Prima). It is in very good condition. The case was of Rolex patented in 1925, see patent numbers inside the back cover. Screw the screw down crown stops working properly, but the crown and the tube are probably original. Overall, everything seems on the watch original and documented a collaboration of Alpina with Rolex from the early days of the watch. Rarely high.
