Rolex Oyster Perpetual 3940 Description

The reference number “3940” is not a vintage rolex “Bubbleback” model. The nickname “Bubbleback” comes from the distinct, domed case back, engineered to house the automatic rotor. These watches were offered in vast variations of materials and dials (including the “California” dial), making them highly prized by collectors for their historical importance and charming vintage aesthetic.
