Highly charismatic, the Rolex 'Bubbleback' not only signified the success of the brand’s self-winding movement but is also one of their most momentous models ever produced. Although the first examples of the Rolex 'Bubbleback' were discovered in 1918, it was not until the 1930s that Rolex had incorporated the model with their first automatic movement. Available in numerous materials and unusual styles, the Rolex 'Bubbleback' never fails to spark the hearts of vintage watch collectors and this particular version with pink gold case and pink dial is an exciting example.
