Vintage 1948 Rolex Bubble Back 6050 in solid gold

One of the most iconic and most collectable of all the vintage watches made by Rolex and indeed out there by any other brand, is the gorgeous Rolex “Bubble Back”, and here is one that is up there with the best of them.

Made in solid 18 carat yellow gold in 1948, the dial, hands, indexes as well as the shape of the case, all come together seamlessly to create a watch that looks fabulous on the wrist and will always be admired no matter where or when it is worn.

The case measures 38.5mm by 32mm across plus the Rolex “Super Oyster” crown and is fitted on a very elegant genuine crocodile band that adds to the charm and allure of the watch. Where many watches have increased in size to over 40mm and watches under are looked upon as being “small”, this was a gents watch when it was made, and can so easily suit a male or female today and regardless of who wears it, this watch looks so elegant and refined on the wrist.

With the early and rare Super Oyster crown fitted, this was a technological leap forward by Rolex to make a waterproof watch without the screw down crown, making this Bubble Back even more harder to come by.

This Rolex Bubble Back is a wonderful throwback to the style and designs of Rolex that made them what they are today.
