Notes

Belonging to the refined pre-Oyster era of Rolex production, the oversized Ref. 3675 stands out as an exceptional example of the maison’s early chronometer-grade dress watches. Its generous stainless steel case, uncommon for the period lends it a modern presence while preserving the understated elegance characteristic of Rolex’s mid-century aesthetic language.

The beautifully reprinted salmon dial, a hue treasured by collectors for its warmth and sophistication, offers a harmonious canvas accented by applied indexes and a neatly framed subsidiary seconds register. The combination of color, proportion, and balanced minimalism reveals the quiet mastery of Rolex’s early precision timepieces.

Driven by a manually wound chronometer-certified movement, this rare “Jumbo” 3675 exemplifies the technical commitment and discreet charm that shaped the brand’s ascent before the dominance of sports models. An evocative and distinguished watch, it remains a superb relic of Rolex’s classical heritage.
