Lot Essay

The present watch is a highly unusual example of a Rolex Oyster wristwatch, featuring a very particular case design resembling much more a "Calatrava-style" layout than the usual Oyster form.

The model is also known as the "King of Wings", derived from a series of watches made for the Canadian market during the 1940s and mostly sold to members of the Canadian Air Force.
