Rolex 18k Rose Art Deco 1938

Dating back to what is believed to be the first year of the model, the ref. 3667 we have here is among the earliest Art Deco watches produced by Rolex.

The watch is distinctive due to its expertly executed Art Deco styling, 18k rose gold case, masterful proportions, and manually-wound caliber. Striking from first glance are the Pontife hands and roman numerals at each hour. It is double signed by the Italien retailer Verga.
