Rolex Oyster Perpetual 6076

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual reference 6076 is an extremely rare and elegant “Ovettone” or “Big Bubble Back” model from the early 1950s. Its historical significance is rooted in its graceful and imposing case design. Produced around 1950, the watch features a large 36mm case in 18k yellow gold, which was substantial for its time. The defining characteristic is the “bombé” style lugs, which swell and curve fluidly from the case, lending a sculptural and highly refined aesthetic. This combination of a large case with such elegant lugs made it a premier luxury dress watch. It was also likely fitted with the short-lived “Super-Oyster” crown, marking it as a transitional piece. Due to its extreme rarity and beautiful design, the 6076 is a highly sought-after reference for collectors of the finest vintage Rolex watches.
