Add sourced dial/caseback/crown images and second documented Sotheby's example — vintage-ref image-count fix (was hero-only) |

The 3353 is a tonneau-shaped Oyster Perpetual Bubbleback from around 1935, in stainless steel with a pink dial and fancy hooded lugs elaborate enough that Sotheby's catalogued its documented example under the name "Scalloped." The case itself is signed not by Rolex directly but by Oyster Watch Co. — the case-manufacturing name Rolex used on some of its earliest waterproof Oyster cases before consolidating everything under the Rolex signature alone. | The 3353 is a tonneau-shaped Oyster Perpetual Bubbleback from around 1935, in stainless steel with a pink dial and fancy hooded lugs elaborate enough that Sotheby's catalogued its documented example under the name "Scalloped."
