The Rolex King-of-Wings models are very rare. They were produced during WW II and came in a 35 mm Oyster case with a distinctive wide convex bezel. This model features a matte silvered dial with radium coated Arabic numerals, blued hands (without luminous mass) and a red central second hand. The watch is powered by a manual-wind movement with indirect central second.
