## Description

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 2940 Stainless Steel Automatic 32mm WatchOwn a definitive piece of Rolex history. Produced in 1941, this Reference 2940 "Bubbleback" represents the pioneering spirit of the world’s first successful waterproof self-winding wristwatch. Named for its iconic protruding case back—designed to house the early "Perpetual" rotor—this watch is a masterclass in mid-century tool-watch design and elegance. Brand: Rolex  Model: Oyster Perpetual 2940  Circa: 1941  Serial Number: 20XX17 (Partially hidden for security)  Case Size: 32mm Diameter / 38.5mm Lug-to-Lug  Bezel: Silver (lightly toned to a sepia)  Crystal: Period-correct Plexiglass  Case Material: Stainless Steel  Band: Genuine Leather with buckle (fits wrists up to 6.75 inches)  Condition: Very Good vintage Condition. The stainless steel case retains its sharp lines, and the plexiglass crystal is clear. The movement is robust and keeping time as expected for a high-grade vintage timepiece.
