This reference 3548 perfectly captured the Rolex’s essence of ingenuity adding a distinctive flair. Its style is essential, set mainly on an elegant aesthetic and a delicate shape, but at the same time precious considering the use of the yellow gold. The water resistant two-body Empire-style case with screwed-down case back and winding crown and straight lapidated lugs has been manufactured in yellow gold, something uncommon on this model and despite the almost 80 years of age is conserved amazingly with totally visible engravings on the back. The black gilt dial has Arabic with outer 5 minutes track, outer minute track of a fascinating ocher color, with a charming patina but in real nice conditions. On the dial is also present the signature of the cuban retailer Curveos y Sobrinos. To further embellish the whole watch a yellow gold bamboo bracelet.
