The 3064 is a tonneau-shaped Oyster Perpetual Bubbleback from around 1940, built in pink gold and stainless steel with hooded lugs and a pink dial. Its only publicly documented example carries an unusual retail history: sold new through Dobbies Ltd. of Nairobi, a Kenyan retailer, and signed on the dial to prove it. Colonial-era East African retail signatures are rare next to the Swiss and European names that dominate Bubbleback dial signatures, and this one survived on the watch through to a 2014 Christie's sale. | The 3064 is a tonneau-shaped Oyster Perpetual Bubbleback from around 1940, built in pink gold and stainless steel with hooded lugs and a pink dial.
