The Rolex Skater

This exceptionally rare Rolex reference 4731 is a design master piece from the 1940s. The case of this very unusual watch was made by Sogno S.A. (Geneva) the same manufacturer who designed and made the case for Patek Philippe's iconic 'Skater' reference 2425. 

The unique shape of this watch is a revelation in the world of watches, with its unique lateral inclined mountings and prolonged downturned lugs. The dial, with its argentè background and exquisite yellow gold details, features a subsidiary dial for seconds and a black outer closed track for minutes.

It is astonishing that even after 77 years the dial is in flawless condition and the case is retained in this condition. Every detail of this watch is a work of art, the shapes and angles make this a perfect example representing the world of Art Decò watches. An extensive search has shown that today this very watch seems to be the only publicly known example of a 4731 

Rarity, condition and style are, the best words to describe this breathtaking watch.
