Specialist note

Reference 2771 is a rare niche model of Rolex's 1930s production, fitted with a "brancard"-style case but with the more traditional, "non-doctor's-watch" layout. We understand that the production of these models was very limited. The present watch stands out by its attractive, unrestored black dial and the unusually well-preserved case.
