Rolex 4119 Description

A manually-wound dress watch from the 1940s, nicknamed the “Flying Saucer” or “Disco Volante” for its avant-garde design. Its historical significance comes from its oversized 38mm case featuring an exceptionally wide, dramatic bezel and concealed lugs. This non-Oyster model, often in pink gold, was a bold stylistic statement that prioritized a futuristic aesthetic. It is a key example of Rolex’s design creativity, proving the brand also produced artistic, fashion-forward timepieces that were far ahead of their time.
