Rolex’s vintage chronographs hold a special place in the hearts of collectors, not just for their functionality but for the stories they tell about an era of pioneering watchmaking. The reference 3484, produced between 1938 and 1948, is one such example—a model that showcases Rolex’s dedication to both innovation and timeless aesthetics. This particular lot, crafted in precious yellow gold, features a rare dorè dial, an elegant detail that elevates its historical and aesthetic appeal. Tachymeter and telemeter scales contribute to make the visual striking effect of the dial even more attractive. Remarkably, the serial and reference numbers on the case back remain sharp and legible, a testament to the remarkable care this piece has received over the decades. Such crisp markings are often lost to time due to wear or polishing, making this example especially noteworthy. Combining rarity, outstanding condition, and classic design, this Rolex reference 3484 is a collector’s dream and a reminder of the brand’s role in shaping the history of horology.
