Notes
Ring watches were produced by Rolex in an attempt to
expand their line of offerings. Pendant watches, pin watches,
travel clocks were all part of a small line of accessories and
were made in very limited quantities. There has only ever
been 1 other exact same ring watch offered at auction
before, bearing a case number only 7 numbers apart, a
testament to the small production numbers of these
