A wonderful opportunity to purchase this rare and much sought after Rolex Oyster Perpetual Chronometer BubbleBack reference 3065, housed in a 32mm steel Oyster bubble back case. This collectors time piece has been fully inspected by a master horologist Rolex specialist watchmaker with no issues to report in superb vintage condition, keeping accurate time in good order, ready to enjoy! A transitional model produced exclusively in 1946. The dial has luminous aged Arabic numerals, blue steel lume filled pointed baton hands with a red lollipop centre seconds sweep hand. An exceptional calibre A296 movement which, predates the butterfly 1030 and is an improvement on the earlier 1930’s bubble back movements, with the addition of shock jewels and a better auto-winding mechanism. Part of the final production run of 32mm Bubble Backs this historically important circa 1946 would sit proudly in any serious watch collection The ‘Bubble Back’ was the first completely watertight automatic watch developed by Rolex. It was named the ‘Oyster Perpetual’. The rounded case back was made to house the self-winding movement rather than the original Oyster case. This gave the name the’Bubble Back’. Rolex only produced the BubbleBack range from 1933 – 1955. FACT: Bubblebacks, along with the rectangular Prince models, are the OGs of Rolex collecting. Back in the 1980s and 1990s a well-preserved Bubbleback would sell for far more than a steel Daytona, a situation almost unimaginable today. Collectors prized genuine rarity above contemporary sizing, allowing 32mm and 34mm watches to make serious money at reputable auction houses. The collapse in value of these watches in the 2000s means that you can start to build a collection of these rarities for a lot less money than you might think. – Prices are now on the rise after decades in the doldrums. The ‘Bubbleback’ represents one of the most significant leaps forward in the history of sport watches. The innovative case construction featured a screw-down crown and caseback, allowing for unprecedented water-tightness of the case. Alongside the now-ubiquitous Oyster Perpetual indication, the self-winding movement inside allowed the wearer to continuously tell time without having to regularly wind the watch. The ref. 3065 dates to 1946 of the Bubble-back era but harnesses what makes these watches so special and collectible. The details here are reminiscent of the configuration Rolex utilized in subsequent years for the “pre-Explorer” models. The blued steel ‘baton’ hands really top off the look along with the applied Rolex coronet below ‘12’ providing a beautiful contrasting colour that is classy and fits the design so well. This adds to the overall look of the watch and makes the dial unique. Further detailed information on these collectible early automatic wristwatches can be found in Dowling & Hess, Rolex, The Best of Time, Schiffer Publishing, 2006, pp. 77-107. The Dial: Signed Rolex Oyster Perpetual Chronometer. The light silvered dial has aged lume filled Arabic numerals with an outer chapter ring featuring 1/5th of a scale minute indices 5 to 60. Elegant and complete blue steel lume filled pointed ‘Baton’ minute and hour hands contrast well with the rest of the dial. Red steel lollipop centre seconds sweep hand. The dial has small marks and the lettering has tarnished commensurate with age and wear not noticeable to the naked eye only under magnification or if looking closely. Please observe photographs carefully. The Original Movement: Signed Rolex Perpetual Swiss Made Patented, Vis Tirette Swiss Trigger Screw Patented Self Winding 2 Rubies. Numbered ******. In any field, be it vintage wristwatches, period motorcars or antique fishing reels, there are definite classics that are universally acknowledged to be key units that are of the utmost historical significance.
