The 5015 is a self-winding Oyster Perpetual Bubbleback documented in at least two gold configurations: 14k solid yellow gold with an engine-turned bezel and a champagne dial, and 18k yellow gold paired with stainless steel on a simpler dial. Dating is where the documented examples disagree. Two independent dealer listings place the reference circa 1948 to 1950. An Antiquorum auction lot — the most formally catalogued example located — dates its watch circa 1961, a decade or more after the Bubbleback family is generally considered to have wound down. Both readings are recorded here rather than one overriding the other. | The 5015 is a self-winding Oyster Perpetual Bubbleback documented in at least two gold configurations: 14k solid yellow gold with an engine-turned bezel and a champagne dial, and 18k yellow gold paired with stainless steel on a simpler dial.
