Description:
Before the emergence of Rolex’s professional sports watches, the Bubbleback established the foundations of the brand’s reputation for technical innovation. Introduced in the early 1930s, these pioneering automatic models earned their nickname from the characteristic rounded caseback required to accommodate Rolex’s self-winding movement, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of the waterproof Oyster case.
The present reference 3132, dating to 1937, is an elegant two-tone execution combining stainless steel with pink gold, featuring a smooth pink gold bezel and a beautifully preserved two-tone pink dial with original luminous material. Further enhancing its desirability is the double signature of Cravanzola Roma, one of Italy’s most prestigious historic Rolex retailers, whose signed watches are increasingly sought after for their rarity and historical significance.
Preserved in excellent overall condition, the watch retains crisp engravings to the caseback, while the original Oyster riveted bracelet in steel and pink gold completes one of the most attractive and collectible configurations of the iconic Bubbleback.
