Perfect for a cocktail soirée or gallery opening, the Chanel Première Rock pairs gold-plated accents and an octagonal, black-lacquered dial with a triple-wrap chain-and-leather bracelet. Its vintage allure adds polished edge to an evening dress or sharp tailoring.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the case size of this Première Rock M?
A: This M-size example is listed with an approximately 20 mm case width. Première Rock references commonly measure around 23.6 × 15.8 mm depending on the specific model, all with the signature octagonal silhouette inspired by Place Vendôme. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this piece.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist?
A: This watch fits a 14 cm wrist or smaller. The triple‑wrap chain interlaced with black leather is designed to coil around the wrist and close with a jewellery clasp for a snug, bracelet‑like wear.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted?
A: Minor sizing is sometimes possible by a professional watchmaker through careful link adjustment, but because the chain is interlaced with leather and designed to wrap, adjustability is limited. For significant changes, consult an authorised service centre or specialist.
Q: What movement does it use and does it need winding?
A: It features a high‑precision quartz movement, so it is battery powered and does not require winding. Replace the battery when the watch stops and have water‑resistance checked during service for best performance.
Q: Is it water‑resistant?
A: Première watches are typically rated to 30 metres (3 ATM), suitable for everyday splashes but not for swimming, bathing or diving. As this is a vintage piece with a leather‑interlaced bracelet, we recommend keeping it dry and having seals tested after any battery change.
Q: Is the case solid gold or gold‑plated?
A: This vintage example has gold‑plated hardware rather than solid gold. Many earlier Première Rock models were produced with gold‑plated cases and hardware.
Q: What type of crystal protects the dial?
A: Première Rock models are typically fitted with a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. Exact specifications can vary by reference, but sapphire is standard on many pieces from this line.
Q: How should I care for the leather and plating?
A: Avoid water, perfume, and solvents; wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wear. Store the watch away from humidity and direct sunlight. If needed, have the chain leather and plating inspected or refreshed by a specialist or authorised service.
Q: What accessories are included with this watch?
A: This item is listed with no accessories. Everything included is detailed under the Accessories section; if an item like a box or papers is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this watch?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, movement, stamps, serials, and finishing. We guarantee the authenticity of all pieces and can provide additional details on request.
