Description
This vintage Rolex Oyster Imperial is a chronometer from the 1930s – a valuable testament to the early era of Rolex and a great piece of watchmaking history.

One of the highlights of this watch is the black galvanic dial with gilt printing – a rarity, as most models from this period featured silver-colored dials. The Roman numerals, small running seconds at 6 o'clock, and the chapter ring on the outer edge create a harmonious overall design. The dial is further enhanced by an authentic patina that lends the timepiece a beautiful vintage charm.

The screw-down, waterproof 29-mm Oyster stainless steel case, paired with the original screw-down Oyster patent crown, is an impressive example of the Rolex technical mastery of its time. The engravings on the inner case back underscore the authenticity and historical significance of this watch.

The ensemble is completed by a vintage-style stainless steel bracelet, which not only perfectly complements the watch's aesthetics but also provides exceptional comfort thanks to its lightness.
