Late 1930s Rolex, a very rare Ref.3525 Oyster Chronograph 1st Generation in stainless steel with original black dial. The heavy screw-back water-resistant case with a big crown and a precious black gilt dial with an aged and textured finish gives this early water-resistant chronograph a wonderful appearance. The earliest Oyster case without side steps, the signatures in gilt, "Rolex", "Antimagnetic", and the "Beyer" with the long-established jeweler of Switzerland make this a rare piece among the precious Ref.3525.
