1950s Rolex Precision Metropolitan 18k Yellow Gold 8952
An Unpolished, 1950s Rolex Precision "Metropolitan" crafted in 18k Yellow Gold in absolute stunning condition with hallmarks, back Crown, "Modèle déposé" and serial clearly visible.
The 1950s Rolex Metropolitan Precision reference 8952 exemplifies the understated elegance and mechanical reliability that defined mid-century Rolex dress watches. Produced by Rolex during an era focused on precision and everyday refinement, the "Metropolitan" Precision features a manually wound movement housed in a modestly sized, well-proportioned case, often in stainless steel or gold. Its clean dial—typically marked with applied indices and the “Precision” designation—reflects a restrained aesthetic aimed at professionals seeking accuracy without ostentation. Today, the ref. 8952 is appreciated by collectors for its classic 1950s design language and as a reminder of Rolex’s strong foundation in high-quality hand-wound timepieces before the dominance of automatic models.
