Rolex 4313 Queen Midas 18K Yellow Gold Champagne Dial Circa. 1970

This Rolex Queen Midas ref. 4313, crafted in 18K yellow gold with a champagne dial, stands as a striking example of Rolex’s avant‑garde design from the 1970s. Designed by Gerald Genta and introduced as the diminutive counterpart to the King Midas, this model embraces bold asymmetry and architectural form in a compact 24 mm case, tailored for elegance on the wrist. Powered by the manually wound calibre 650, renowned for its precision and fine finishing, it reflects Rolex’s dedication to mechanical excellence. The champagne dial, with its sunburst finish, adds a warm, luminous glow that complements the gold case, enhancing the watch’s sculptural presence. Its integrated yellow‑gold bracelet underscores the seamless aesthetic and reinforces its identity as a statement piece. Though modest in size, the Queen Midas carries significant collector relevance—its rarity and Genta pedigree make it a sought‑after jewel among enthusiasts of design‑forward Rolex creations. This reference exemplifies how Rolex transcended conventional dress watch norms in the 1970s, offering a piece that is as much wearable art as it is horological craftsmanship. Excellent Condition with European Watch Company leather travel pouch.
