Rolex - Oyster Perpetual "Bombay" Ref. 6590
Bombay
An exceptionally rare reference from the early Oyster Perpetual era – the Rolex 6590, known among collectors as the “Bombay,” named after its characteristic curved, softly shaped lugs. This special case shape clearly distinguishes it from the classic, straight lug variants and makes it a sought-after rarity.
The model offered here has a 14K gold case with a diameter of 34 mm and has been freshly serviced. The case is in keeping with the era and underlines the elegant vintage character of this model. An absolute highlight is the beautifully patinated radium dial, which has developed a unique structure reminiscent of fossil rock – lively, organic, and completely authentic.
The original hands have been preserved and harmonize perfectly with the warm radiance of the dial.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire such an extraordinary and distinctive example of this coveted “Bombay” reference – a true collector's item with personality and historical depth.
The watch has been fully serviced by our workshop and comes with a 1-year warranty.
