1937 Rolex Oyster Perpetual 14k Yellow Gold Bubble Back Watch 3131

This Rolex Oyster Perpetual Bubble Back watch, reference no. 3131, from 1937, is a precious collector's item, a testament to the storied legacy of Rolex. Constructed in 14k gold, its enduring charm is heightened by the warmth and luxury of this premium material.

As the nickname "Bubble Back" suggests, this watch features the signature rounded case back, a characteristic design element of early automatic Rolex watches. This design resulted from the added thickness of the rotor mechanism and holds an important place in Rolex's history.

The dial is housed in a case that is in pristine condition, a remarkable state considering its vintage age. This demonstrates that the timepiece has been well-preserved and treated with the utmost respect and care over the decades.

The watch currently runs, but due to its age, it needs servicing to ensure its continued performance. This is a common requirement for vintage watches and should be expected to maintain the integrity and functionality of the timepiece.

The watch features a replacement strap fitted with a Rolex tang buckle. Although the buckle is rose gold, which doesn't precisely match the case's yellow gold color, it still carries the prestige of the Rolex brand.
