Description
Our opinion: The 36mm Rolex from the non-sport Rolex collection in the 1950s and early 1960s are rare. Indeed, this non date 36 diameter was unusual at the time. Hence its name Big Ovetone or Big bubble because the same caliber as the bubble back is used, with its particular rotor and its domed caseback.
