Lot Essay

An unusual feature of this watch are the hollow lugs. Enquiries with Rolex reveal that they do have details of a similar model reference 3335, yellow gold, which has also been made with hollow lugs. The reference 3330 is the pink gold version of this model.
It is thought that the lugs were hollowed out in a cost saving rather that a weight saving exercise.
