A Rolex Oyster "Royal" from the 1930s, featuring a rare original black dial. This exquisite piece showcases a vintage black dial with a thick white-lettered rail track, large luminous Arabic numerals, and a small seconds subdial, embodying the era's character and remarkable aesthetic. Despite its compact 30mm size, the watch exudes a robust presence characteristic of the Oyster case. The rare mid-crown further enhances its impact, offering a sense of grandeur beyond its size.
This is a prized double-signed model, originally sold by the renowned Swiss jeweler Bucherer. Bucherer has maintained a longstanding partnership with Rolex and recently gained attention after being integrated into the Rolex corporation. The watch is powered by the Caliber 10-1/2, a movement commonly used in many hand-wound models from the same era.
