Rolex Bubble Back Oversize King of Wings

Price on request

This large Bubble Back Oversize “King of Wings” with an Egyptian salmon dial is among the most mythical watches in Rolex history.
Its so-called Egyptian dial—instantly recognizable by the very distinctive design of its numerals—combined with strictly original luminous material, is already extremely rare in itself. Here, however, we are dealing with a true original salmon dial, an exceptional configuration that elevates this watch to an entirely different level.

Bubble Backs with Egyptian dials are considered among the finest “time-only” watches ever produced by Rolex. They are often featured in reference books, sometimes described as almost legendary pieces, yet finding an example that is this original, this coherent, and this well preserved has become exceedingly rare today.

The other defining element is, of course, the size. While most Bubble Backs of this type measure around 33 mm, this example is an oversize version measuring approximately 35–36 mm, which was already substantial for the period. This larger case gives the watch an extraordinary wrist presence and places it among the most desirable Bubble Backs ever produced.

This is a truly exceptional watch, both for its dial-and-case configuration and for its rarity, state of preservation, and proportions. A major piece, emblematic of Rolex’s golden age, and without doubt one of the finest Bubble Backs one can encounter today.

 

 

Cette grande Bubble Back Oversize “King of Wings” à cadran saumon égyptien fait partie des montres les plus mythiques de l’histoire de Rolex.

Son cadran dit égyptien, reconnaissable à son dessin très particulier des chiffres, associé à une matière lumineuse strictement d’origine, est déjà en soi d’une rareté extrême. Mais ici, il s’agit en plus d’un véritable cadran saumon d’origine, une configuration exceptionnelle qui élève cette montre à un tout autre niveau.

Ces Bubble Back à cadran égyptien comptent parmi les plus belles “time only” jamais produites par Rolex. On les croise souvent dans les livres de référence, parfois évoquées comme des pièces presque légendaires, mais retrouver un exemplaire aussi original, aussi homogène et aussi bien conservé est aujourd’hui extrêmement rare.

L’autre élément déterminant est bien sûr la taille. Alors que la majorité des Bubble Back de ce type mesurent environ 33 mm, cet exemplaire est une version oversize de 35–36 mm, ce qui était déjà considérable pour l’époque. Cette envergure lui confère une présence au poignet totalement hors norme et la place parmi les Bubble Back les plus désirables jamais produites.

C’est une montre véritablement exceptionnelle, tant par sa configuration cadran / boîtier, que par sa rareté, son état de conservation et ses proportions. Une pièce majeure, emblématique de l’âge d’or de Rolex, et sans doute l’une des plus belles Bubble Back que l’on puisse rencontrer aujourd’hui
