The Rolex Baby Chronograph Ref. 2303 is an exceptionally rare and historically significant timepiece from the 1920s. At its launch, it was advertised as "the smallest chronograph in the world," featuring a modest 28 mm case diameter. This model is distinguished by its single-button chronograph mechanism, operated via the crown, showcasing Rolex's innovative approach to watchmaking during that era.

The watch boasts a two-tone silvered dial with black printed Arabic numerals, an outer tachymeter scale, and blued steel feuille hands. The dial is further enhanced by the signature of the French retailer Broudarge Paris at the 6 o'clock position, adding to its uniqueness and collectibility.

Housed in a well-preserved two-piece 18k yellow gold case, the watch exhibits a charming patina, indicative of its vintage nature. Powered by the manual-winding Calibre 10½''', the Ref. 2303 remains a testament to Rolex's pioneering spirit in the development of chronograph wristwatches.
