The case measures 27 x 41 mm (including lugs) with 24mm lug size. The case (reference 912) is signed R.W.C. Ltd (Rolex Watch Company Limited), Rolex 7 Worlds Record, Geneva-Suisse, hallmarked Glasgow 1928 and numbered to the back.

The guilloche ‘engine turned’ silvered dial has Arabic numerals, with a subsidiary seconds dial and fine blued steel ‘Breguet’ hands. The dial is signed Rolex above the centre.
