A 1940s Rolex Oyster Bubbleback Ref.3372 stainless steel model with a rare black dial.
This uncommon black dial features bar indexes paired with alpha hands, and all of the inscriptions—“ROLEX,” “OYSTER-PERPETUAL,” “OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED CHRONOMETER,” “SWISS,” as well as the minute track—are executed in gilt printing. The glossy black gilt dial retains a beautiful sheen, showcasing the character and refined aesthetic of the period.
It comes with a valuable Clewco expansion straight bracelet bearing the rare “C” mark (fits wrist size up to 19 cm).
The turned design of Ref.3372 offers more volume than standard NA-size Bubblebacks, making it an excellent choice as a first Bubbleback for those concerned about size and wrist presence.
