Manufactured in the early 1940s, this is a Rolex Oyster Bubbleback Ref.3135 with a silver roulette Arabic dial. It features a rare three-piece case, making it one of the initial models of the Bubbleback in the NA size, housing the Caliber 620 small seconds. The silver dial, accentuated by blued steel hands, exhibits a charming design with Arabic numerals arranged in a non-circular pattern reminiscent of a roulette wheel, along with a small seconds subdial. Despite its apparent simplicity, this watch exudes a distinctive charm, showcasing the taste of the old-fashioned Bubbleback, particularly with its valuable mid-crown and early three-piece case design, setting it apart from later models.
