Manufactured in the 1930s, this is a Rolex Oyster Viceroy 1st Generation with a matte white luminous Arabic dial.
It features the precious early-type Viceroy case, constructed with the elaborate 4-piece design—bezel, middle case, caseback, and movement holder—seen in the first-generation Bubble Backs, Flat Backs, and solid gold models.

The dial showcases large Arabic numerals, a railroad-style minute track, small seconds, and a no-crown design, all of which capture the classic taste of early Rolex watches. While it shows natural aging and minor scratches, the Viceroy case retains its distinctive shape beautifully, offering a superb vintage character.

The watch also comes with a rare Gay Frères bamboo bracelet (wrist size adjustable from 18 cm to 19.5 cm), allowing one to enjoy the authentic period aesthetic even more.
