Rolex. An Extremely Rare and Attractive 18k Gold Automatic Wristwatch with Center Seconds, Bracelet and Blue Enamel Dial

Known amongst Rolex collectors as the 'Bombay', the reference 6290 has a very attractive case design with its fluted lugs that curve so elegantly from the circular case. The case design is exceedingly rare, although it is the exquisite blue enamel dial that allows this watch to be one of the few Rolex wristwatches with enamel dial that has come to market in recent history.

The dial is nothing short of stunning, especially set with faceted gold applied hour markers, which glisten in the light against the royal blue enamel. The champagne chapter ring which surrounds the edge is laid with gilt dot minute markers which adds a further element of sophistication. The deep blue color seems to change in the light, sometimes a bolder hue than others which is simply mesmerizing.
