About This Watch

Vintage. No box/papers.

This is a very pretty example of a rare 3pc case pink gold top Rolex bubble-back dating to 1945 with a stainless steel screw-lock back. The period crown has been replaced some time later and in YG rather than pink but it is a period correct piece and a rarity on it's own as bubble-backs must have these pre 1955 crown.

The dial is an old restoration on an original plate and comes in two tone copper tone with applied tritium that has aged. Works very well and not water resistant so please keep this away from moisture and never drop them. Bubble-backs are not equipped with shock-proof absorber for the balance staff.
