Lot Essay

Characterized by its voluptuously sculpted lugs, reference 6593 is an imaginative re-elaboration of the classic Rolex Oyster case. The present example not only preserves the original proportions and elaborate design of the lugs, but it further captivates the connoisseur with its extremely rare dial configuration, sporting not one but two unusual and very appealing features: the diamond-set numerals, and the signature of revered Venezuelan retailer Serpico Y Laino.
