Specialist note
A superb, very rare and highly attractive vintage Rolex that would enhance even the most exalted of collections. The Rolex reference 3579 is amongst the most attractive Art Deco wristwatches ever made, it features a very unusual design with fancy lugs.
This reference 3579 with pink dial is a quite remarkable specimen and unquestionably the most attractive example to have so far been offered at auction. The condition of this watch is outstanding for a vintage Rolex of this period, the untouched dial showing no sign of any cosmetic enhancement or restoration, and the case probably never polished since new.
