Specialist note

With Rolex green presentation box.

The present watch is a fabulous example of reference 3065 with an attractive black dial and in very good condition overall. The reference, highly recognizable by its "hooded lugs", is one of the most sought after variants of the legendary "bubble back" series. The watch further combines two metals, stainless steel and gold, to create a beautiful ensemble.
