Rolex Oyster 2595

A foundational, manually-wound Oyster model from the late 1930s/early 1940s. Its historical significance is immense, as it was one of the earliest references to feature Rolex’s patented waterproof Oyster case. Often chronometer-certified and housed in a “boy’s size” case (~29mm) common for the era, the 2595 was instrumental in proving that a wristwatch could be both elegant and durable. This reference helped build the brand’s reputation for reliability and paved the way for the sports watch revolution.
