Rolex Oyster Perpetual 6052

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual reference 6052 is an exceptionally rare “Bubble Back” model from the early 1950s, prized by collectors for its unique case architecture. Produced around 1950, its historical significance is defined by its distinctive “hooded lug” design. These integrated shrouds create a solid, streamlined appearance, flowing directly from the case to conceal the spring bars. The known examples are cased in 18k yellow gold, featuring the classic 32mm “Bubble Back” proportions and a screw-down crown. The combination of the precious metal case with the rare and stylish hooded lugs makes the 6052 a significant find for enthusiasts of Rolex’s varied and experimental post-war designs.
