1950s Rolex Bubble Back Ref.8824 rare Square design in 18K yellow gold with Paper

This is a very rare non-Oyster Bubble Back Rolex, Ref. 8824, with a square design, made in the mid-1950s. It features an 18K yellow gold case with a square shape—something almost never seen in Bubble Back models. The voluminous 18K yellow gold case unique to the square design, the movement equipped with a flat rotor unlike the Oyster models, and the high-quality powder white dial with applied bullet-shaped indexes and dauphine hands all come together to showcase the distinctive character of Bubble Backs from this era. It is a precious collector’s piece that comes with the extremely rare original guarantee and chronometer certificate from that time.
