Each Bubbleback is different; some stand out in case design, others with an unusual dial. Then there are those standing out by the condition. And then there are those who impress by all these criteria. The present example, a reference 3372, is such a Bubbleback.The stainless steel and rose gold case is characterised by its reeded bezel, highlighted by chased hour markers and finely engraved concentric circles. This bezel decoration suffers quickly when polished and the present examples displays the original finish to the best extent. The dial is highly unusual as it has not only all black Arabic numerals (such dials are also called “Telephone dials”) but displays a lovely two-tone rose colour scheme. Most multi-tone dials have concentric circles of different shades, but the present one has one of the rarest two-tones colour schemes with the dial being divided into 4 segments. Some scholars refer to them as “bow-tie dials”, others as “Papillon” (french for butterfly).The correct “Bamboo-style” bracelet is also made with stainless steel and pink gold, signed Rolex and completes this excellent watch beautifully. In terms of rarity and originality this Bubbleback can hardly be matched, but the greatest virtue to collectors is its great level or pleasure it can provide on one’s wrist.
