1940S STEEL & GOLD ROLEX "BUBBLE BACK" WITH HOODED LUGS

Boasting the first automatic movement in a Rolex "Oyster" case, the bubble back has always been a favorite among vintage Rolex enthusiasts. The modest size, however, makes it a challenge for those gents who have grown accustomed to the most assertive sizes of contemporary wristwatches.


This bubble back, with its "hooded" lugs, looks larger than its standard counterparts and has a very substantial presence. It boasts an attractive original dial that has achieved a beautiful patina. Furthering the allure is the addition of the original Rolex factory vintage "grains of rice" bracelet.

This is an incredibly rare bracelet that truly compliments the watch and allows it to wear like a piece of jewelry. The watch has a case diameter of 32mm and measures 40mm from "hood to hood".
