A Rolex Oyster Bubbleback from the early 1930s, an exceptionally rare 1st model featuring a silver dial with large luminous Arabic numerals. This historically significant and highly valuable piece in Rolex’s history is equipped with an early 4-piece waterproof case construction, comprising the bezel, middle case, case back, and movement holder. It houses the self-winding Caliber 520 movement, which is engraved with operating instructions.
The vintage silver dial showcases a classic design with a railway track, large luminous numerals, and a small seconds display. The oversized crown, characteristic of early waterproof cases, adds to its period charm and remarkable aesthetics.
This watch is accompanied by a Cromwell straight expansion bracelet (fits wrist size = 18.5 cm).
