Rolex had a unique arrangement with a Canadian company, producing watches featuring a special dial exclusively for Eaton's, Canada's largest retailer. These timepieces weren't intended for public sale at Eaton's stores, but rather as tokens of appreciation for employees who had dedicated 25 years to the company.
Crafted in 14Kt gold, this custom practice began in the 1930s and lasted until the 1960s. Initially, the Rolex for Eaton's watches were rectangular Rolex Price models. Later, in the 1950s, Oyster references were introduced, specifically for the exclusive Quarter Century Club.
Unlike the typical double-signed Rolex watches, these pieces bear only the retailer's name, Eaton, alongside the distinctive "1/4 CENTURY CLUB" designation, presented with applied letters on the dial. This level of recognition was unique to Eaton's and wasn't extended to any other retailer by Rolex.
