ROLEX Ref. 3599
Amongst one of the most sought after variants of the legendary “Bubbleback” series, the present reference 3599 with rigid, hooded lugs stands out.
It’s blessed with an attractive combination of a stainless steel case, stunning black dial with Arabic numerals and white text and presence of the retailers’ signature of Giudici, Milano. Reference 3599 is defined by its most unusual case design, featuring a completely flat cylindrical bezel of considerable width and hoods covering the normally open space in between the lugs. The so-called “hooded Bubbleback” could feature different surface finishes to their hoods ranging from smooth to ribbed, from engine turned to vertically striped. The visual impact should not be under-estimated, and as can be seen on the present example, the watch grows in size and presence, rendering an even more striking appearance.
