Rolex Chronograph 3835 Description

The Reference 3835 is a stylish and rare manual-wind chronograph from the 1940s, prized for its elegant case design. Its primary technical distinction is its case architecture, which features prominent and shapely “teardrop” lugs. The case, typically crafted in 18k yellow or rose gold, measures approximately 36mm, making it large for its era. It is a two-register chronograph powered by a Valjoux 23-based manual-wind movement. Its significance lies in its sophisticated, jewelry-like execution of a chronograph.
