ROLEX Ref. 4134
This delightful Rolex reference 4134 is simply amazing and very rare. Truly rare! Unusually large for its era, this watch features a timeless 1950s design that is absolutely elegant even for today’s tastes. Fitted with non-Oyster, snapback cases, watches of this reference are not water resistant, and therefore most are found with dials having sufered moisture damage.

Incredibly, the present example is in such an immaculate condition, from its perfectly proportioned case to its untouched and fawless dial, even the inside caseback displays no prior service marks, that we can assume with little doubt that this beauty has been safely hidden in a drawer remaining unworn for most of its 65-year life. Even less common, its original, custom made Rolex brick-stone bracelet perfectly completes this unique piece. This specially designed bracelet adds pressure to the case back, providing improved resistance against dust and even moisture - a typical Rolex solution combining attractive aesthetics and practicality. The present watch is in the best-preserved condition that a demanding collector could hope for. With its original gold bracelet, the present lot is the most lavish, and fnest example of the reference one will ever see.
