Lot Essay

The Rolex Bubble-Back was during a period of over 20 years the firm's best-seller, made in a nearly unlimited number of variations in terms of case shape, case material and dial designs.

The present example reunites every conceivable element a Bubble-Back collector can possibly aspire to: the fancy steel and rose gold case, a superb and unrestored rose-colored California dial highlighted with luminous numerals and the exceptional extendable steel and pink gold Oyster bracelet.

The present watch furthermore impresses by its hardly unpolished condition and crisp case. Bubble-backs of such quality are amongst the rarest watches in the world and represent an incredible value to any collector.
