Rolex Oyster Bubbleback, "Shell Hooded" design, silver sector dial, circa 1940s.
The rare shell-fouled case with a flat bezel and a characteristic cover, which exists only in the boy's type AR of the bubble back, attracts a unique presence even though it is a small 29mm size. The silver dial with a three-sector design that has aged well is a gem of taste.
