We’re proud to offer this exceptional piece, mint condition, unpolished, and scarcely worn. It features a pristine, radiant dial with gold indices and an applied logo, all housed in a highly sought-after 18kt solid yellow gold case with elegant Bombé lugs.

It is worth noticing the 18kt gold construction, as the vast majority were produced in 14kt, making this example not only rarer, but likely one of the finest to surface in recent years.

In the late 1940s, Rolex unveiled a unique Oyster Perpetual model, characterized by its gracefully arched lugs. Collectors have since fondly dubbed these models "Rolex Bombé" or "Bombay" in the Americas, inspired by the lugs' distinct, twisted with rounded shape. While this term isn’t official, it has become a beloved reference among enthusiasts.

CONDITION

This piece is in remarkably well-preserved, mint condition, unmolested and showing minimal signs of wear. The dial is flawless, with crisp printing and vibrant detail. The case remains unpolished and sharp, retaining its original lines and definition. Inside, the movement is exceptionally clean, with no signs of rust or deterioration, testament to how carefully this watch has been kept over the years.

The amplitude is 295°, the Rate +0s/d and Bear Error 0.3ms.
