Err...watch in 18K Rose or Pink Gold...

Has any VRF Buddies seen this sort of CB engravings before...?

Orchi's French can be quite ugly sounding...
but trying to figure out what these engravings...
in French words "A SES COLLABORATEURS"...
would mean...

Does it mean the watch was intended..."For His Collaborators or Employees or Comrades"...
amongst whom they have served together in Montres Rolex SA...
for 25 years between 1932 to 1957...?

What would be the major significance of the era between 1932 to 1957 for Rolex SA...?
Could it be 25 years of Jubilee...a time of rejoicing n celebration...?

Or could the watch had been intended...
as a 25 years LONG SERVICE AWARD from Mr. Hans Wilsdorf...
to his dedicated staffs...in Montres Rolex SA...at the time...
from 1932 to 1957...?

IF so...Then Orchi can't help but wonders...
how many numbers of his staffs...
were honoured with such a 25 years long service award...
to begin with...

Err...less than 100...or less than 10...?

Thanks for watching...
n any feedbacks are most welcomed...

Best regards
Orchi.


P/S: Oh btw...the inside of this CB is engraved with the last 3 digits...
of the watch's Serial Nos...
