Hi folks,
So I bought a Rolco at auction with an interesting history. It has a cypher on the cashback for Kkng George VI. I can't find anything else online about it other than a similar one that sold at Christie's in 1997. If anyone can shed any light on this item it would be really appreciated.

Also apologies about the terrible spelling. I've added the photos including screenshots of the christies auction lot.

Probably should have posted to the other brands forum, not the vintage Omega forum.

What sort of information are you looking for, have you tried Google?

Are you trying to determine if it is the same watch from the auction? The best way is to compare defects like stains and scratches.

I've tried to identify if it's the same but hit a wall. And Christies don't have any information from that auction. I'm just trying to find out any provenance for it and whether this is unusual or a common watch
