Notes
Part of the earliest Rolex chronographs produced from the early 1930’s,
the reference 2021 is unusual by its huge case size for the time (40mm)
and its hinged back with a metal cuvette similar to pocket watches.
Available sometimes with an enamel dial, this example has a desirable
black-dial in very good condition and its matching cuvette with reference
and serial number repeated.
