Rolex Oyster 3096

A manually-wound Oyster from the late 1930s, historically significant for its elegant Art Deco case design. Often featuring a cushion shape with stepped sides or stylish “hooded” lugs, the 3096 demonstrated that Rolex’s robust waterproof technology was not confined to purely utilitarian designs. This reference is a prime example of the fusion of high fashion and technical superiority, proving Rolex’s ability to create a durable, reliable watch that was also a sophisticated luxury object.
